    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was telling the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade that in every Parliament there are serious stakeholders, even within the Republican and Democratic parties in the US. I kept saying this afternoon that let us go by what the Treasury says. Let us come to a middle ground. That is a function of legislation. I am sure when the Government put 50 per cent, they must have had good reasons. As the people‘s representatives, and as people who represent investors, we will have to agree to both sides. Once we reach Tuesday, we will agree to bring the taxation level down for the Government to collect taxes and for the investors to feel comfortable. There is no way we can transact business as we did this afternoon. My good friend, the Chair of the Departmental Committee, is a ranking Member of this House. The deletion was the one that brought problems. He should have listened to us. Thank you for agreeing with us. We have agreed to do recommittal. The Chair will have an opportunity to do more consultation with the Treasury and the investors. We want to have a win-win situation. Therefore, I support the Motion for recommittal of these clauses. Clause 20 is about something the National Treasury has a small issue with. They are sitting now. We will also find how to deal with it."
