    "content": "Hon. Kemosi, it is not done that way. I needed to hear the Chair of the Committee. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is not the Mover of the Bill. Just read these Standing Orders. The Chair of Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is the owner of this Bill. A number of you have raised pertinent issues. As you all know – my assumption is that you all know even if you do not know – the Finance Bill operates as a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. It contains proposals to amend various acts. A very pertinent issue has been raised by a number of you. What is the principle object of a Finance Bill? That is the issue that those of you who have spoken would want me to address, including what is contained in the Advocates Act and also the provisions of Articles 31 and 35 of the Constitution. That is not something that we would want to take lightly. It is only fair that I go and apply my mind to all of them holistically. For the time being, your point of order, Hon. Murugara, is noted and supported by those who have spoken. I will be making a ruling on it."
