    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I stand to oppose the amendment. I am a Member of the Committee on Agriculture. We even had discussions with the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture. As a Committee, we all agreed, including the Chairperson, that six months is sufficient for us to look at the weighty issues and decide whether to propose a complete repeal of the Act or propose amendments to it. Proposing a longer period is actually tying the hands of the Committee. As a Committee, we will be forced to stop operations for 12 months. Why do you not give us six months, so that even as a Committee, we can know under what regime we will be operating? Leaving us in limbo for one year is really paralysing our work. Therefore, I would like to, very strongly, oppose the amendment and urge our Chairperson to speak to this issue. As a Committee, we have agreed on this issue."
