    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Committee, in arriving at the agreed version, was guided by the provisions of the Constitution, the Water Act, the Public Private Partnership Act and the other relevant laws. Further, in accordance with Article 118 of the Constitution, the Committee took into consideration the submissions made by the public during public participation conducted by the National Assembly and Senate as contained in the report of the two Houses. The first main issue of contention was the subjection of the proposed Bulk Water Purchase Agreement by Water Works Development Agencies and the Water Storage Authority, the contacting authority and the private investor, to an economic efficiency criteria set by the Water Services Regulatory Board. In this regard, the Committee was able to agree that the proposal by the Senate on the requirement of the subjection of the Bulk Water Purchase Agreement to an economic efficiency criteria set by the Water Services Regulatory Board, be dropped and instead include the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB) to be among the bodies to be consulted whenever the Water Storage Authority and Water Works Development Agencies enter into Bulk Water Purchase Agreement. The Mediation Committee was of the view that, whereas the Bill provides for the Bulk Water Purchase Agreement, it will be subject to the Public Private Partnership Act, which provides the general framework for the visibility and approval of the Public Private Partnership The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
