    "content": "If the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is here, the point I want to make is that if a Cabinet Secretary brings draft regulations that are unconstitutional and do not conform to the statute that provides for the making of the specific regulations, we need to sanction such person. In reality, regulations should only be annulled once in a while. If they are annulled every time they come to the House, it only shows that Cabinet Secretaries and other State officers are not serious and, therefore, we need to do something about them, particularly where there are allegations of collusion. That is the point I wanted to raise. If people who are expected to know what to do go ahead and do things that go beyond the standards, they need to be sanctioned. If draft regulations are annulled on basic grounds, there is need to put the particular State officer or Cabinet Secretary to task. What was their intention? With those remarks, I support the annulment of the regulations on the basis that many Members have given good reasons for these regulations to be annulled."
