    "content": "I have looked at this Bill and realized that this is an omnibus Bill. It does not come entirely as a Bill under the Committee on Administration and National Security. It also involves other committees. For instance, it has amendments to the Penal Code; Criminal Procedure Code and Evidence Act. Those Committees have not had time to look into the specifics of this Bill. Therefore, even as important as this Bill is, I think we need to subject it to the Administration and National Security Committee, Defence and Foreign Relations Committee; Justice and Legal Affairs Committee; Labour and Social Welfare Committee and even Transport, Public Works and Housing Committee. If we proceed with this Bill as it is, these Committees will not have opportunity to look at it. It is an important Bill but let us debate it at the point where we should. I think it has come before the Floor of the House before its time. My submission is that it is prematurely before the House and I would urge the Chairman of the Administration and National Security Committee to withdraw it and re-introduce it after the other Committees have gone through it."
