    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We know that in terms of the quality of legislation, the Committee of the whole House is critical. I appreciate what the Chair has said. Ordinarily, when you propose an amendment, you are supposed to give the motive or the gist of that amendment in relation to what you are changing. I listened to the Chair of the Departmental Committee. We have two amendments on Clause 25 (a) and (b). The one on (a) is proposing deleting the word “property” appearing before the word “operation”. He has not explained to us the import of the amendment. He has just mentioned the fact that land issues are emotive, and the dispute resolution aspect. He has not explained the importance of deleting the word “property”. I am humbly requesting the Chair of Committee, whom I congratulate for doing very well, to explain himself to Members in relation to deleting the word “property”. What is the gist or what is the motive? After that, in (b) there is the insertion of the word “irrigation”. In order for us to move quickly, he can combine the two. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
