Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have not spoken to this. I thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for having brought this Report. The Report has come at the right time because there has been a lot of talk about the Judiciary and the events there. We have heard the head of the Judiciary complain publicly about an array of things.

Hon. Speaker, another issue that has been flagged in the Report is corruption within the Judiciary itself, especially on how they use the cashless payment systems that they adopted as a way of eliminating corruption within the system.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, a few minutes ago, the Chair and the Mover of this Bill were consulting. They might have thought the first matter would take a little bit longer. That is why they may not be in the House. However, as an interested party in labour issues, I know they are working on it to actually expedite the process.
