    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The Member has good points about the main law on public procurement. But the intent of the Senate is not to cover just the main Act but other regulations and other legislations that affect procurement matters in this country. It is indeed true that there is one major public procurement Act. But other than the Act, there are regulations, for instance, the 30 per cent for women and the youth procurement which was a presidential directive. So there could be other parts of legislation which may not be covered by the Act. I urge the Member, seeing the mechanics of the Mediation Committee and some of those other matters, it would be important for the House to agree with the Senate amendments and as we continue doing the regulations, some of these matters can be refined and cleaned up in the regulations. But for today, I urge the Member not to oppose but support the Senate amendments. At an appropriate time, more refinements can be done."
