    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want clarity from a legal perspective. If you look at the new clause, it is saying- “(2A) Notwithstanding the repeal of Paragraph 102 of the First Schedule, the exemption of goods imported or purchased locally for direct and exclusive use in the implementation of projects under a special operating framework arrangement with the Government, shall continue for existing projects for the remaining period of the agreement.” How can we be referring to a law that is repealed? We have no legal feet with which to stand. And even though I am not opposing this, I think this amendment should be brought in a different way. You cannot then refer to an already repealed law as a basis for bringing an amendment. There is no law. What are we referring to if it is already repealed? So, I would just want to ask the Chair to get assistance to rephrase this because someone will challenge this. We cannot be making reference to a law that is not in existence."
