    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Bill. The Committee considered this Bill and found that it does not limit fundamental rights. This Bill is not like the previous Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, where the Senate took upon itself a Bill that was not supposed to emanate from that House. They debated that Bill and forwarded it to the National Assembly only for us to realise it was a money Bill and, therefore, this House could not consider it. However, this Bill contains several pieces of legislation. The amendments that the Committee considered were found to be sound. For instance, the proposed amendments to the Cancer Prevention and Control Act are in order. Cancer is a big problem in this country. Health services being a devolved function, we found that the Senate was properly within its mandate to consider this Bill. We also considered the proposed amendments to the Sports Act and found that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
