Mr Speaker, I table the supplementary explanatory memorandum for those amendments. I have also circulated a tabling statement in relation to them. I will read briefly from it so that it is on the record. The Government amendments include an amendment to subparagraph 222(1)(e)(i) to correct a typographical error in the definition of "development". Subsection 175(3) of the Land Act provides for the regulations which prescribe permitted uses on land apart from those purposes permitted by the lease. To include a development of a type prescribed by the regulations in the definition of "development", the reference to paragraph 175(3)(b) in subparagraph 222(1)(e)(i) will be omitted and replaced by "175(3)(a)".
