as much as i've criticized her, elizabeth may needs to take some leadership over the ndp caucus, and maybe parts of the liberal caucus, in very carefully examining the new regulatory legislation. if there's a principled opposition, and constructive suggestions, it will come from elizabeth may. but, she's completely powerless without some kind of coalition with the ndp - who may be of two minds on this.

she has no technical power but she has great sway, because she has respect from her colleagues.

i don't know, really. i think the process should always be open to modification, and that regulatory overhaul should really be a recurrent process. i've seen some upsides and some downsides. so, it probably needs to be studied and amended, where necessary.

what i'm getting at is that the parliament is going to have to find a leftist front to amend this, or slow it down in the face of entrenchment.
