        make such decision as it thinks proper to resolve the difficulty.

(5) A reference in subsection (4) to a difficulty arising includes a reference
to a difficulty arising because of a conflict or inconsistency between 2 or
more continued statutes or between rules or orders made under 2 or more
continued statutes.
