    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, this legislation will require some kind of overhaul. I have looked at Clause 2. Looking at the provisions that limit the courts’ jurisdiction in granting relief under circumstances where normally they should be available, if this Bill is passed in its current form, it will be very oppressive. We can also look at the limitations given to appellants who, probably, have not succeeded before the Land Disputes Tribunal, provisions that deal with how valuations are undertaken, index established and how then the parameters are determined for purposes of compensation, need to be relooked afresh. If one looks at this Bill in those broad spheres; if it is passed in the current form, it is a very oppressive Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would ask the Mover to address those issues at Committee stage. Since it was a National Assembly Bill, then that would mean that it has a lot of challenges. If we make those amendments, then it means that some kind of mediation will be required. I will not say that I support or oppose because I cannot support it in the current form. I cannot also oppose it because the idea is correct. With the adequate and appropriate amendments made, it is a proper Bill for consideration by this Senate. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
