    "content": "This Bill brings the entire spectrum into a professional organisation. Indeed, the Bill is progressive and good but it contains some provisions that, upon basic reading, may amount to duplication and be unnecessarily bureaucratic. It talks about a professional examination board, a registration committee and other similar bodies. I urge the Committee to rationalise the Bill during the Committee of the whole House to ensure that it is less cumbersome and costly. Establishing all these sub-organs, sub-committees and offices will be expensive for insurance professionals as they have to pay to sustain all the structures that are being established. As the Chairman has indicated while moving the Bill, they will not require any money from the exchequer. That means the burden will fall on the people who practise in the profession. We, therefore, need them to reconsider the proposed structures."
