    "content": "of Agriculture is not comfortable with this Bill. It would have been very important for us to know their feelings about it so that as we make decisions on it, we also capture those feelings. Clearly, there are some ambiguities which need to be looked at during the Committee of the whole House stage. For example, Clause 12 gives the Authority powers to examine, grant, issue, suspend, cancel and revoke licences or permits that are issued under the Act, but Clause 102 appears to contradict this by giving the courts powers to order licences to be cancelled. This will bring a lot of confusion and some people may take advantage of it. The power to issue licences or revoke them, as is the practice, should be with the Authority and not shared with the courts. One can go to court and get orders to cancel a licence that has been issued to an individual. For example, a licence can be issued to a doctor or a pharmacist who has been in college for six or more years, like Dr. Pukose, then someone goes to court and gets cancelation orders and one loses the licence. Those are some of the ambiguities I have noted."
