    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Chairperson. Following the discussion that we had in the House, the proposals by the Committee of the New Clause 19A was amended to read in the subsection 2, and I read- “The grower who fulfills the provisions of subsection 1 shall notify the board of the intention to supply cane outside a sugar cane zone.” The rationale behind this is that the wisdom of the House saw it fit to pass the responsibility to the board as opposed to the farmer because some farmers could be small-scale farmers and they may not have the resources to move around looking for the board. This is informed by the fact that a farmer who has, for one or the other reason, a pre-existing contract or agreement with a miller, can go ahead and sell to the miller because that will give the farmer some responsibility. The mandate or responsibility of proving that such a legal bondage exists is now passed to the board as opposed to remaining with the farmer. This will give the farmer some freedom while at the same time ensuring that cane pushing and cane hooking does not take place. Madam Temporary Chairperson, I submit."
