    "content": "Even more fundamentally, in my view and with all due respect and I have had occasion to pronounce myself on this matter before, the manner of drafting of this Bill makes even debate on it unnecessarily too academic. This Bill proposes to amend virtually every clause of the 1999 Act. If you have a situation where you have to amend virtually every section of an existing law, would it not be more prudent to redraft the Bill entirely? If you look at the Bill, right from the beginning on page 2859, it starts at Clause 2 by saying: “The Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act, 1999, in this Act referred to as the “principal Act” is amended in section 2.”"
