In relation to the amended implementation time frames, the date that the regulation-making power comes into effect, section 27, is now the same date as the implementation date, where under the original time frames the regulation-making power commenced five months earlier than the implementation date. Will the regulations for the tobacco plain packaging bills be promulgated and released prior to the implementation date—

Senator McLucas interjecting—

Yes, I know there is a lot of noise in the chamber.
