Arising out of the Report of the Committee on Finance that has considered the recommendations through public participation of stakeholders, the Committee has proposed a raft of amendments to the Finance Bill, and based on that, I support it. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it would be dishonest for those opposing this Report and this Bill to only look at the Finance Bill as proposed and not look at the Report of the Committee.
