| Concern about the complex nature of the schemes proposed by the bill, which include powers for ministers by means of "directions" to suspend and revoke suspensions of regulators' powers to impose sanctions; the extent to which it is constitutionally appropriate for regulatory authorities to make determinations as to whether a person has committed a criminal offence and to impose unlimited financial penalties; and whether the procedural protections provided in the bill match up to the minimum standards of procedural fairness that a person accused of a criminal offence ought to have.
