I want to thank you for raising that issue. I just want to thank you for raising that issue. I want to raise the concerns I have after looking through this Bill. It raises very fundamental issues in the Non-governmental organizations (NGO) sector. I am also aware that many organizations have been complaining about this Bill; it would have been really fair for the Ministry to be here to give us the opportunity--- I would encourage that we continue because it is their responsibility and if they are not here they cannot hold us to ransom. I would wish that the Leader of Government Business, who, unfortunately, is also not here would be here. He could have requested a responsible Minister to come by the time we complete these very fundamental issues."}
