However, I really think that this is a Bill that is timely and has taken too long to be debated. I also think that it is a Bill that is very important because it touches on the cardinal unit of the society which is the family unit. view

• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I second the Bill. view

• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I would just like to get a clarification from the Chair. He says that a couple of attackers have been arrested and charged in court.
