"content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to second that we allow the publication period to be reduced from 20 days to 14 days, so that this House can also have time to quickly get this Bill to the Second Reading for debate. I believe I do not want to discuss the details of the Bill, but there are issues in this Bill that we need to transact before the recess. I think it is important that we fast-track this and have the Bill debated. Hon. Deputy Speaker, 14 days, I think, are sufficient. Twenty days is required, but even if you reduce them by six days, I do not think there is much difference. Finally, I hope, and I repeat, that the Leader of Majority Party and House Business Committee will also consider reducing even the publication period for the VAT (Amendment) Bill that is supposed to come to this House, so that it is debated and passed before the December 5th break. I Second the Bill. Thank you."
