I would hope to see the beginning of a major re-examination of what we have done in legislation during the past few years. Considering the vast scope of this work and the unprecedented nature of much of it, it is to be expected that there exist a number of rough edges, overextensions and overlaps and, perhaps, even significant gaps. I am suggesting a concentrated re-examination of major legislative structures by which the Federal Government is enabled...
