    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Mine is to seek a clarification from the Leader of the Majority Party on the Affirmative Social Development Bill. This Bill has gone through various Committees of this House. It has gone through the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and was approved. The Bill is now in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We are only requesting and pleading that this Bill be brought to the Floor of the House so that hon. Members can give their views. They need to debate that very important Bill. It has really over-stayed in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It has been there for about six months. We feel that it might be time barred and that is why we are praying that it is brought before this House. This Bill was together with the one concerning our military and the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill. The two Bills have been debated in this House. We are now requesting that this Bill be brought before this House. We want to assure this House that hon. Members will consider and pass it because it has been refined. We have co-operated with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Many times, he has requested us to review the Bill and amend various areas. This time we have co-operated--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
