    "content": "These authorities are known more by their names than what they have achieved. They do not get a lot of support from the Government. Their impact is relatively little. The support given to them is not much. Many of them veer from their mandate. Some invest in real estate and you wonder how that is concerned with local development. Therefore, I support the need to look at them. As my colleague has said, it has not been deep enough. This Bill has given the Regional Development Authorities the same legal structure. It is like taking various Bills, you give them one format and then you put them back together. I do not think that is adequate, although the principle is good. If it is done properly and we look at it at the Committee of the whole House, it may be easier to oversee them. If they have a similar legal framework, the structures we need to oversee them will be easier."
