"content": "Well, hon. Amina Abdalla, it is within your power as Chair of a Committee; if you think that what has been brought before you does not meet a certain threshold for this House to consider, just report here. The House is going to agree with you. What you are speaking to about the quality of Bills coming from Members, to me is kudos to Parliament. It means that Parliament is doing well in our legislative drafting section. Those responsible for Bills emanating from the Executive should, therefore, pull up their socks and try to catch up. The point is that a committee is at liberty to make a report; you do not have to spend so much time making corrections to a Bill. You can return it to the sender by making a report to the House and we will agree with you. If you are going to make so many amendments to a proposed Bill, it speaks volumes about the competence of the people responsible for their drafting."
