    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairperson, whereas we cannot oppose if we are removing what is not in the Bill, that is automatic, we are noticing something. I think something has to happen. We cannot have a Bill that has gone through all the processes, it comes to the House and we find that it is proposing an amendment removing sections that do not exist. We have always complained that we do need to have huge miscellaneous amendments to Bills because these omnibus Bills are just meant to correct small things like commas and so on. Now, we are using them to amend whole Acts. We are amending even things that do not exist. What action are we going to take to make sure that we do not go even to the Committee of the whole House before that is noticed? I have said before that people do not read them because of the way they are and the many laws they affect. That is the truth. It goes through all the processes and committees, comes to Second Reading and nobody notices that we are amending what does not exist.
