“Giving these powers to ministers is not a problem. Businesses and industries ask for these changes themselves. Giving ministers this power lets the government act faster, and that is the right choice.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do not believe that granting powers to ministers is inherently problematic, because proposals relating to things like changes, flexibility or exemptions come from the sectors themselves. They do not come from the minister. He consults with sector stakeholders. Flexibility can be introduced, exemptions can be implemented more quickly, and I believe that is the right choice.”
