    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with you. The Committee deliberated so much and at length on the proposed amendments. We found most of the amendments were piecemeal in nature and were not going to cure the existing Act. We even reported in our report, which we tabled, that the Committee needs to overhaul the entire existing Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act. We ought to do a complete overhaul because it required almost 200 amendments to be cleaned up considering it is a 1966 Act. So, I can register some progress. The Committee has come up with a proposed Bill which went through the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) on Tuesday, and has addressed all the issues in that Act. We will be able to bring harmony and cure the discrepancies and whatever was lacking in the existing Act. I, therefore, would propose that we guillotine all the remaining clauses and the ones proposed for deletion."
