    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you imagine a Miscellaneous Amendment Act that deals with 11 laws? Even if it is brought to a particular House, as it was brought to the National Assembly and forwarded to this House, the question is which Committee should prosecute it? This is because we are moving from crops to dairy, public procurement to national employment, fisheries, TIVETs, betting, issues related to public-private partnerships, and then we move all the way to hospital insurance. As a practice, this is something that needs to be checked. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very happy that the Committee spent time to work on these various positions. The observation of the Committee was generally that the Bill did not keep in discipline with the purpose of an omnibus Bill, which ideally makes few amendments to legislations. On the contrary, some of the proposals make substantive amendments to legislation. The Committee also proposed several amendments to the Bills. That is why I am saying that I am glad the Committee spent time to scrutinise these Bills."
