Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the steps should be specified. These are the mistakes made in the 10th Parliament that made our Committee amend three laws. These are procedures to be followed. If they are not clear, then they are hanging. From (3) to (6) make them Sub-clauses of 2. That is the Committee’s amendment. A mistake was introduced when the Order Paper was being prepared or when the Clerks-at-the Table were bringing the amendments. It is Clause 8 (1) (2) (3), (4) and (5). The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I know you have heard something called “change of user.”

That is a planning term. “User” is not who is using the land. “User” is the land use zoning attributed to it. So, “user” is perfectly in order and does not mean the person actually using the land. It is the land use zoning to which the land is supposed to be used. I know you have heard that. If you read newspapers, you will see “notice for change of user.” That is a planning term.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with the Chairman and support the amendment because the original Bill was very ambiguous. It just said “a registered community will recommend to members.” What does that mean? What threshold will be required to approve such a recommendation? This amendment clearly says that in a meeting, the majority of members may, by a vote, decide that certain areas shall be reserved for communal purposes. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I agree. In the original Bill, Clause 15 says that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations prescribing the manner and procedure for registration of community land for the purposes of this Act. That manner and procedure has been written into law. There is no need to make new regulations. In any case, the Cabinet Secretary has the role to make regulations for all clauses in this Bill at the end. Clause 15 does not make sense and so I support the deletion.

upon registration to a community,” it means that you are stating what is already stated. The registrar being talked of here, as per the definitions, is the registrar of community land. So, any registration this registrar is doing is that of community land. So, adding “to a community” is tautological; adding what is already stated. It is unnecessary.
