Under subsection (2), the power can be used to modify the Act itself or any other existing legislation (primary or secondary).
35.Subsection (3) provides that an order made under subsection (1) which adds to, replaces or omits any part of the text of an Act is subject to the affirmative procedure. Any other order is subject to the negative procedure by virtue of subsection (4).
