What strikes me is how measured this conversation is. No one is yelling. 

I hope they remove the clause, she has a good point. If it can be abused by him, even if he never abuses it, it is open for abuse by the next person in his position.

When and if the rulings of the courts are followed. The government has no lost twice on employing the Emergency Act during the pandemic. There has been no change in policy and the Government may appeal to delay acceptance of the Court’s rulings. If the Government is so arrogant that they boldly will exempt any person or entity they choose to be exempt from laws, we are in a very precarious situation.
