COVID Emergency Powers for AB Govt

There have bene sweeping changes in the government and it's involved huge increase in powers. Specifically, Ministers can now make their own laws without a sunset clause. Sometimes you need to give governments more power in times of pandemics to enact change / decision making quicker. But this sounds like another abuse from the UCP govt.

This is the best explanation on it that i could find.

Ultimately, UCPs are doing what's best for themselves in the interim, knowing full well the legislation change would never would weight in the SCC.
