This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Severe Weather Emergency Recovery Legislation Bill to delete clauses 19 to 21,

The ability in Clause 19 for the Executive to use the Order in Council process to add other acts to the list in Schedule 2 that can be amended by Orders in Council, again with no prior consideration by, or input from Parliament, is a significant increase in Executive power. The Bill provides for a parliamentary resolution to approve such an Order in Council within a specified period after it has been made. The deletion of clauses 19, 20, and 21 would provide for normal parliamentary scrutiny by ensuring that Parliament can debate and select committee and the public can consider whether the Executive should be able to amend additional legislation by Order in Council.
