    "content": "The reason we are seeking the amendment of the principal Act in Section 23 is to introduce a new sub-section that provides that instruments made by statutory-making authorities like cabinet secretaries go through Parliament or its committees. Recently, we had a problem. A person appeared before us and presented draft regulations. In the afternoon, those regulations were published without taking into account comments that had been made by the Committee. We said we had just wasted our time. Before a statutory comes into effect, we are proposing that the Committee must first consider those regulations. That is the import of this proposal."
