    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT be Bill be amended by inserting immediately after Clause 62A thereof a new clause as follows:- Section 18 of the Sugar Act, 2001 is amended- (a) by deleting subsection (4) and substituting therefor the following- (4) All monies received in respect of the levy shall be paid to the Consolidated 3590 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 9, 2006 Fund, and, if not paid on or before the date prescribed by the Minister, the amount due and any sum payable under subsection (5) shall be a civil debt recoverable summarily by the Government. (b) by deleting subsection (6). I propose that New Clause 62B be part of the Bill. Section 18 of the Sugar Act is an Exchequer issue. It clarifies what the law says and makes sure that the Sugar Act is in harmony with the Government Financial Management Act, in terms of what happens to the money received or not received at the close of the year. I want to ask the House to pay some attention to what we are doing because we might end up passing laws which might affect our farmers, by looking at the political expediency of things without really considering the effects of knocking down the amendments would have."
