• explaining what they need to do to have a statutory rule drafted
• giving them some appreciation of what the drafting of a statutory rule involves and practical pointers on how they can facilitate that task
• giving them some useful information about statutory rules and their promulgation
• explaining the role of the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.
