Health committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Generally this amendment would hand over the ability for the coming into force to be determined by regulation once, presumably, that process is done. That is something that does occur from time to time in bills. In terms of the rationale as to why, I would

Health committee  Generally, when a bill doesn't have a provision for coming into force, you're exactly right; it does come into force upon royal assent. However, it does happen from time to time that legislation has a specific coming-into-force provision, which might be set out as is currently wr

Environment committee  This is the wording of the new amendment: The Minister must, in the management of the Park, prioritize improvement of the health of the Park's ecosystem; 6(2) For greater certainty, the Minister must recognize and take into consideration the ongoing presence of agriculture in t
