    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy, Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion for this very good Motion. I want to ask the Minister to change his mind because the duplicity that he is talking about will be addressed when the actual Bill is done. If there is anything in the Standards Act that will be duplicated in the proposed Consumer Protection Bill, this House will have occasion to correct it. I think it is misleading the House for one to talk of duplicity about a Bill that has not been drafted at this stage. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, consumer organisations do not have an Act of Parliament to underpin their work. This proposed Bill will give an Act of Parliament or legalisation that will underpin the work of the Consumer Protection Board. I believe that the exploitation of 2360 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 26, 2006 consumers in this country has gone on for a very long time and it is time it came to an end. Everybody is a consumer; including the President. Therefore, the Minister who is also a consumer should rise and protect all consumers of goods and services. Thank you."
