    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although the spirit behind the amendment was good, nevertheless, the way it had been drafted, to me, it was unconstitutional. I can repeat those arguments. However, the House overruled me and voted for the amendment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, yesterday, the hon. Member approached me and more or less stated that he saw the good reasoning that I had made on the Floor of the House and that he would be asking for a re-committal of the Clause to be considered again. In fact, he got the assistance of the Clerk of the National Assembly to draft the re-committal of that particular Clause. He saw the sense that the way it had been drafted was unconstitutional. It brought in parties who are not party to the issue which was the subject matter of the clause. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I have now been asked to move the re- submission. I would have loved him to be here to state it himself. However, since he is not here I beg to move:- \"THAT, new Subclause 17(7) be deleted\". 3954 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007"
