I have said “maybe.” So, that referendum will also be very contentious. Before I go to the Bill, I wish to indulge my colleagues that this is a very important piece of legislation. We make laws for posterity. As we make this law, let us not have in mind the BBI. This law can be used for a referendum that will come 20 years from now. Let us remove emotions and everything. Let us deal with this matter. The Tenth Parliament and the Eleventh Parliament did not get the opportunity. The Twelfth Parliament, namely, those of us sitting here tonight, ...

the CKRC Act, which became redundant after the promulgation of the new Constitution. So, we have an opportunity. Parliament, and this House, has indeed, a very clear role of amending the Constitution either through a parliamentary initiative or through a popular initiative.
