Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is right. Once this particular subsection comes into force, which will be two years after the rest of the act comes into force, this act will prevail over any other act to the extent of any inconsistency between the two acts. However, it only prevails over other acts where there is, in fact, an inconsistency in the two acts. I would anticipate that many of those inconsistencies will, in fact, be dealt with by amendment in the period leading up to the coming into force of subsection 4.2.
