On the issue of the operating mandate, we have grave concerns with this bill because of the power that it gives the minister without parliamentary oversight and, in fact, without cabinet oversight. You have just stated that the operating mandate is in preparation, but is it correct that that operating mandate isn't a disallowable instrument?
