MR BERGER
Chairperson, the first point that was raised that I want to deal with is that Section 18 doesn't give the Minister the power to set conditions.  With respect, that is not correct, if one has a look at the definition of prescribed in the Act it says prescribed means prescribed by regulation under Section 40 and if one then turns to Section 40, it's the President, the President may make regulations prescribing anything required to be prescribed for the proper application of this Act.  The power is given to the President to prescribe the form and whatever form the President prescribes is given the power of statute and that is the form that has to be completed, that Section 18 says "you shall submit an application in the prescribed form and whatever conditions are contained in that prescribed form, you shall comply with."  That's what the regulations are there for, gives the President the power to legislate.  Delegated legislation I might add.
	My learned friend said that if there was - if there's no substantial compliance for the cut off date then the applications are not good enough and I agree with my learned friend on that, that is quite correct.  If there is no substantial compliance before the cut off date then the applications are defective and therefore invalid, that is quite correct.
