Sorry to jump in; I know that I shouldn't be debating. I just want to point out that the concerns expressed by some but not the majority of witnesses, related to the mandatory new checks, were always related to charter compliance by the police, and I think this certainly reflects an intent that they “exercise investigative powers” consistently.
I'm flexibly allowing this to proceed, in itself, even though there weren't necessarily amendments. It's up to the committee.
(Amendment agreed to on division [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Shall the preamble carry, as amended?
