    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise on a point of order on Clause 13(5)(a) that the wardens will have such functions as may be prescribed by rules under this Act. That is fairly questionable drafting and very questionable allocation of functions. Usually, the law would allocate functions on the face of it. The law does not save functions to be provided later. If you are going to appoint people, you appoint them with the function that you want them to serve. So, I think that, that particular section has a problem and maybe if the Chair could address it, the easiest might be to delete that whole part. Otherwise, if you have not thought of the functions, then you cannot think of the functions after the law has passed. That particular section would have needed to be worded on the face of the law. Those functions would have needed to be here and not to be made later."
