    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I want to say that the Public Accounts Committee which I chair has no position on these proposed amendments. We neither support nor oppose, we remain indifferent and we want to leave it to the wisdom of the whole House to make a decision on them. We want to point out that this matter of Section 974 of the Companies Act was canvassed at length in the Committee and it was a question of interpretation. Indeed, the legal officer of Parliament attached to the Committee had a contrary opinion to the proposed amendment. That is why we insisted that we get a formal or legal opinion from the Office of the Clerk. I wrote to the Office of the Clerk and I got a response which was a legal opinion on Section 974 of the Companies Act. As the debate continues, I want this to be put into context. The opinion we got from the Office of the Clerk on Paragraph 10 is very short. Allow me to read it."
