(2) If, within 40 days after the Regulations are laid before Parliament, a resolution is passed by Parliament that the Regulations or any part of them be annulled to the extent set forth in the resolution, the Regulations, or part thereof so annulled shall thenceforth become void and of no effect but without prejudice to the validity of any action in the meantime taken under the Regulations, or part thereof, as the case may be, and a certificate of the Clerk of Parliament as to any of the matters or things specified in this subsection shall be sufficient evidence thereof.
