    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If you listened very carefully to the Chairman of the Committee, he has said that the reason that this should be deleted is because Clause 55 has been deleted. It is understandable that you should say that because he had anticipated that Clause 55 would be deleted. However, if you read Clauses 55 and 56, Clause 56 anchors Clause 55. You cannot have Clause 55 standing on its own. Clause 56 is an anchorage to Clause 55, by refusing this amendment which we have passed across that sets up the trust fund. We cannot set up a trust fund without indicating how it will be administered. If we do not administer the trust fund, it means we will have money that anybody can use as they wish. They can be using it to buy beautiful dresses, go to discos or for election campaigns. We want the refugee fund to be administered for that specific purpose. If we remove Clause 56, we will be legislating an illegality. Anybody who sees that will think we are totally unserious. Even though I know that right now the campaign fever is on and our minds might not all be here, we are still lawyers. People will blame some of us and question what we were thinking when we pass this amendment."
