This is the clause that deals with the Cabinet Secretary making regulations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as you know, giving the Cabinet Secretary discretion in terms of what regulations to make has been discouraged.

The term “family member” should also include “legal guardian.” That was not included. We have parents, sisters and all the rest but a legal guardian has not been provided. You necessarily may not have any relationship with the child, but you are a legal guardian of that child. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.
