Consistent with the remainder of this aspect of the legislation, this is a description of a reserve power. At the end of the day, if the minister thinks that we can provide further protection to children and families through ensuring that this reserve power can ensure that the services are delivered, or that the outcomes that the minister intends to deliver through this emergency intervention are delivered, then that indeed is just another reserve power.
