    "content": "THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to section 3— (a) in the proposed paragraph (b) (i)— (i) by deleting the words “twenty million” and substituting therefor the words “one million”; and (ii) by deleting the words “imprisonment for life” and substituting therefor the words “imprisonment to a term of not more than five years”. (b) in the proposed paragraph (b) (ii)— (i) by deleting the words “five million” and substituting therefor the words “five hundred thousand”; and (ii) by deleting the words “five years” and substituting therefor the words “two years.” I support the Committee in everything they have done so far. When I brought this amendment, I had not really interacted with the Committee Members but I got an opportunity to speak to them today. I noticed that all my concerns which brought about these amendments were covered in the current Bill. They have a way forward to ensure they deal with the issues which were of concern to me which is basically the way we punish users who in essence are unwell. The Committee recognised they are unwell and require rehabilitation and support. The various fines were looked into and I want to withdraw the amendments. I feel there is no necessity to have both amendments given that the Committee has done a very good job and has been in touch with what citizens of this country expect, in as far as this Bill is concerned. I withdraw my amendments to clauses 3 and 5."
