    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you realize that this is a general premise of legislative proposals. After this, it will be necessary for regulations to follow. We have taken up what is detailed and left this with bones only, so that what is detailed will be in the regulations to support the legislative framework. That way, we are able to separate what is necessary for legislation from what is necessary for administrative action. We have given the registrar an opportunity to work around some of the things which are administrative and not legal. That is why there are transitional provisions, which protect the regulations as we have them but with modifications in terms of the way they will come when this legislation is passed. It has been said before that this Bill has not come from the air, and this is how it should be. A Bill should precede policy. There has been sound policy which has not only been presented to this House but has also been discussed in several fora; discussion has also touched on the Companies Bill that is before us. You find, therefore, that this Bill has followed very closely the proposals that we have in terms of policy."
