    "content": "When it came to the Bill being submitted to the National Assembly, the amendment that was said to have been dropped still appears in the proposed amendments that were sent to the National Assembly. So, we just wondered what to do with it. On the Floor of the House, it was withdrawn. However, as the Bill was referred to the National Assembly, it was retained. So, in terms of procedure, what do we do with a matter that was dropped at the Floor of the Senate but which was subsequently forwarded to the National Assembly? In our view, it is not something that is inimical. We can live with it if procedurally, it is unacceptable. As a Committee, we agreed that if it goes through, we will move an amendment to delete it because it is unnecessary for it to be in the Bill. It does not add any value. I guess that is the reason as to why the Senate decided, in their wisdom, that it should not remain in the Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
