Thank you very much.  It's lovely to see you in the chair, miss Lula, as it always is.  We've got a rowdy bunch here.  I hope this isn't gonna mean that we'll be here for too long, madam chair.  But I beg to move that the committee has considered the draft data use and access act 2,025, consequential amendments, transitional provisions regulations 2026. 

I'm pleased to be speaking on these regulations, which were laid before the house in draft on the February 2.  These regulations are fairly straightforward.  They make consequential amendments to references to the information commissioner and the office of the ICO across the statute book reflecting the reforms to the regulations governing structure introduced by the data Access Act 2025.  If everyone is still with me.  Specifically, the act abolishes the information commissioner, which is a corporation's soul and transfers its functions to a new body corporate, the information commission, led by a chair, chief executive, and other executive and nonexecutive members with collective decision making responsibilities.
