    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am opposed to this Bill. I am surprised that Hon. Sankok, who spoke eloquently before me, said everything in opposition to the Bill and then concludes by saying that he supports the repeal. I really do not understand, but I will leave that to himself and his conscience. The Social Assistance Act was, from the records, enacted in 2013. Now you are speaking to almost a decade. Instead of asking ourselves why it has not been properly implemented, we are going to repeal it. That cannot be the way to go. This is an august House and in 2013, nine years ago, it exercised its wisdom and took the taxpayers’ time to enact a very elaborate scheme under the Act. It cannot be that now we certainly say that all that effort and all those years were in vain. In fact, all the issues that Hon. Sankok has spoken to are already in the Act. The Act establishes an Authority with perpetual succession which can be sued in its name or otherwise. It establishes a board."
