It's the process to which you seem to be objecting. Nothing wrong with scrutiny in Parliament, but it would be a fight between those who want t stop the boat people and those who side with the Arch Kent of Cant.
How do you know you can trust anything? If it is safety critical or liable to have other serious consequences then it is subject to regulations, tests and certifications. Through these, we may reasonably trust the product/service/whatever.

Your problem is you are asking the wrong question. It’s not whether I *know* there’s anything wrong with it; I am not an expert in legislation any more than I am an expert in food safety or medicines production. The question is whether I can *trust* that there’s nothing wrong with it. As it has not been subjected to the usual tests, I cannot trust it.
