It is felt that special care must be taken to ensure that the changes proposed will be both effective and workable insofar as the industries and individ- uals affected are concerned. The two sections of the Consumer Protection Act were explained: they would deal with interpret- ation and provide for regulations, which will be available in draft form to the industry as of April 1. The three month period will give ample opportun- ity for any final representations to be made with respect to regulations.
