    "content": "House. What is important is the content of the Bill. I have looked at it. It is rich and it will help this country to move forward, especially for posterity. Another matter is that a referendum, being a direct and universal vote, needs Parliament to look at matters that can bring down the efforts made by the people that we represent on the Floor of the House. If we come up with this Bill and it is supported and it goes through, this will stamp the authority, especially on what the electorate wants, through a referendum which will be anchored in law. Anything that is anchored in law is protected. Even if it goes to court, the judicial system will have a point of reference. As it were, we have not had a referendum law and now that we are bringing it in, it will be good for posterity. With those many remarks, I support the Bill."
