    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, this is one of those rare occasions that I find myself in the same wavelength with the Leader of Majority Party. The amendment that is proposed is not in keeping with the legislative practice in the Commonwealth. The content of the Act itself is the enactment. The memorandum is a justification. It is an explanation of the enactment but what turns out to be law is the content itself in the Bill. It would be contrary to drafting procedure that you find a memorandum being part of the Bill because it does not in any way cause any enactment or something that the law expects somebody to do. So, I oppose the deletion by my sister and ask that the deletion as proposed in actual fact is a repetition of what the Constitution has said; that there will be a bill and that it will be accompanied by a memorandum, which is what we have. To subject that memorandum to be part of the Bill, in actual fact, is contrary to what Section 218(2) says. So, I oppose."
