    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to echo what Members have said in opposing the amendments from the Senate. I sit in the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing and I am an engineer by profession. The Bill that has been brought forth by the Senate was not done in good faith. When you look at the amendments to the Bill, the Senate took their time, sat down and thought of introducing members from the office of the Senator to join the CRC. That was done in bad faith. I do not know what the Senate was thinking. At the end of the day, they have killed the Bill. When you look at it, the amendment goes beyond the mandate of the Senate. The Senate’s mandate is specifically to protect the interests of counties. What role do they have in proposing some members from the office of the Senator to the CRC? This is not in good faith. When you look at the other proposed amendments to the Bill that take care of other factors in the Bill, the Senate did not do well. The Bill has a lot of amendments to be considered, but I do not know the Senate’s intentions. I would rather the status quo remains if we cannot agree with most of these amendments. I tend to think that there is another force – I do not know from where – that wants to intentionally kill this Bill. I hope that the mediation team will look at this Bill critically.
