It's about the provisions in the current bill, which give the minister the ability to change the fifty-fifty split. The original legislation said that when people moved from the BasicsCard to the cashless debit card the fifty-fifty would generally remain. But under the new bill the minister would have the power to change that under certain circumstances. Does that remain or is that being taken away with these amendments?
