"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support this amendment, but I think as lawmakers we should be consistent. I have always advocated for regulations governing the laws that we make here to be brought to the House. Many times I have been pushed aside. Sometimes bad remarks are made that as an engineer, I should be concerned with carrying stones and not making laws. We should be consistent so that when we make laws--- These are the pitfalls that have been seen that somebody out there will make regulations that negate the spirit of the law and we have no powers to look at them. I was overruled in the Act governing the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and many others. So, I am glad that the Minster is now seeing the essence of making those regulations and bringing them here for approval before they come into effect."
