I beg to move- THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clauses immediately after Clause 19— Exemption from cane supply restriction. 19A. (1) The Board may exempt a commercial cane grower from the restriction on supply of cane within a sugarcane zone, provided that— (a) the grower demonstrates that there is pre-existing agreement with the miller outside the sugarcane zone; (b) the grower is not indebted to any miller or out grower institution within the sugarcane zone; and (c) no supply agreement exists between the grower and any miller within the sugarcane zone. (2) A commercial cane grower who intends to supply cane outside their sugarcane zone shall submit to the Board, an application for exemption in the prescribed form. (3) The Cabinet Secretary shall prescribe regulations for the consideration of an application for exemption under this section. The rationale behind what we had discussed in the Committee, was debated in the House, and we agreed that we do not want to put a lot of restrictions on the farmer. We said subclause 2 be amended to read as that, “A commercial cane grower who intends to supply cane outside their sugarcane zone shall submit to the Board, an application for exemption in the prescribed form.” The rationale behind this is that we wanted to take the responsibility from the farmer to the board, which shall be composed, as has been prescribed elsewhere. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Chairperson. Following the discussion that we had in the House, the proposals by the Committee of the New Clause 19A was amended to read in the subsection 2, and I read- “The grower who fulfills the provisions of subsection 1 shall notify the board of the intention to supply cane outside a sugar cane zone.” The rationale behind this is that the wisdom of the House saw it fit to pass the responsibility to the board as opposed to the farmer because some farmers could be small-scale farmers and they may not have the resources to move around looking for the board. This is informed by the fact that a farmer who has, for one or the other reason, a pre-existing contract or agreement with a miller, can go ahead and sell to the miller because that will give the farmer some responsibility. The mandate or responsibility of proving that such a legal bondage exists is now passed to the board as opposed to remaining with the farmer. This will give the farmer some freedom while at the same time ensuring that cane pushing and cane hooking does not take place. Madam Temporary Chairperson, I submit."
