    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to also make some comments on this Report. From the outset, I want to say that I do support the annulment of the regulations. I think it is simply unfortunate that the Statutory Instruments Act only gives two roles to this Committee – to either annul or approve. It does not amend the regulations or cannot ask the stakeholders to relook at the regulations. It can only do that through annulment because this document was not the same as the one that was provided to the stakeholders. The one which was gazetted is different from the one which was provided to the people concerned. I believe it is important to annul so that it can be corrected and one document be used in all fora. It is in the same Report where it is stated that there was lack of public participation. Public participation is important for fairness so that we can get the other side of the story. If we do not have public participation then we will be doing shallow regulations or shallow laws. Therefore, it is fair to annul so that this public participation can be given a chance. The issue of freedom of movement is also provided in the Constitution, and if the regulations purport to restrict that or to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
