Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson is to take part in a public debate on Criminal Justice next week.
It's been organised by the Positive Action Group and is entitled 'Criminal Justice - why so many new laws?'
Opposing Mr Watterson will be civil liberties campaigner Tristram Llewellyn Jones.
The Criminal Justice, Police Powers and Other Amendments Bill 2012 is out for public consultation until July 24.
The PAG says the proposed bill contains 35 clauses and includes many contentious powers already rejected by the public and the House of Keys in the previous bill.
The event will take place at the Manx Legion Club on Market Hill, Douglas, at 7.30pm on Monday, June 25.
Admission to the event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
