    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do tend to agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party and the Hon. Member have just said. It seems we are basing the fact that this is not constitutional because of a law that existed before. If that law at that time was unconstitutional and had not been challenged, that does not make it constitutional. What is being contested is the power that is being given to the Cabinet Secretary. I do not see anybody saying it is wrong for those products to be exempted. The only issue is the power being given to the Cabinet Secretary to decide this or not. In that situation, there is need for more consultations so that we protect our farmers and become certain that we are not doing anything unconstitutional. The argument that it was there before, therefore, cannot possibly be unconstitutional. I agree that we need more consultations on this even for short time."
