    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am also happy to contribute to the debate on the Finance Bill and to suport the Bill and the amendments that it proposes. But as I do that, I would urge that in the years to come, The Finance Bill is accompanied by an explanatory note. In many legislatures where they pass similar laws like the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment), like what we passed here, that particular law requires explanatory notes. If you look at the House today, part of the reason why we are few is because not many Members are able to follow the conversation from the policy direction up until when this Finance Bill is introduced. We have very competent staff in this Assembly. If you look at the Motions, the reports and the drafting that they do, it would not be asking too much to ask the staff that we have and the Clerk’s office to supply explanatory notes to a legislation, so that the Members can understand where the policy is coming from, where it is going and why there is need to change policy. That is important. 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."
