I appeared before the Committee and its Chair would tell you that I was in agreement with regards to some of the issues related to public participation because I was raising very fundamental amendments that required the attention of some of the authorities such as the Office of the Attorney-General, because I was killing one agency and creating another. So, in terms of budgetary issues, I am not creating, but ceding the country money. Having said this, I am glad you raised this issue because I wanted your directions on some issues. One, the issue of public participation is a lot in relation to this Bill. I have seen it coming up in relation to other Bills. So, when Members propose issues relating to a Bill that may require public participation, is there a way they can be facilitated before the Committee of the whole House? I know it is not unconstitutional to facilitate further public participation."}
