"content": "The effective date in the Bill is actually 15th January 2008. That again, hon. Speaker, you will agree with me was arrived at by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I am talking about what the Committee processed. My original Bill is not the same one that we are debating today. However, because I respect rules, the Bill has to be processed as it should because the Constitution says that it can only proceed in line with the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. That is what I did. You signed off a Bill that had incorporated the views of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Otherwise, my original Bill will be substantially and significantly different, including even the entire Clause 3. Actually, the whole Clause 3 was not part of my original Bill; it was inserted by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. If you look at the minutes, I actually contested this because I did not like that provision. However, because I am a member of that Committee I take responsibility together with the Committee for that decision. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
