"content": "should understand fully what we are talking about. This will ensure that when decisions are made by this House and by the public, it is on the basis of information. Sometimes, there is a danger in passing the laws quickly and get over with them, just because we understand and we leave the people behind. We even leave Members of Parliament behind, who just turn into voting machines and later on, they say they did not read and understand. This time around, let us get it right. The emphasis should be on getting it right and not passing it. We should not be afraid of being called from recess to come and discuss this. This is more important than the recess we are going into. I, therefore, support and appreciate this and without anticipating debate, this leads directly to Order No.9 and the exemptions. Even those without anticipating debate are actually in order with this. Just to reiterate, please this time, let us look at the interests of the country and not political positions or business interests. Those are what we should look at in these laws because if we do not, we can face the same problems we faced recently with the Finance Bill. With that, I support."
