    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the matter raised by Sen. Billow raises very serious issues. From my reading of the Bill, the preamble itself quotes Article 66 of the Constitution. Article 66(2) states that:- “Parliament shall enact legislation ensuring that investments in property benefit local communities and their economies.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there cannot be anything more clearer than Article 66(2) which states that Parliament, which includes this Senate, shall have an interest in any legislation passed which would regulate use of land in counties or interest over right of land. So, in just fortifying what Sen. Billow has said, this Statement and whatever the Senate Majority Leader is going to say, would have a bearing on what we, as this Senate, should do."
