Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, ensure that you protect me. There is a lot of noise. It affects the clarity on this matter. I am a Member who is well experienced, and I always listen.

What it means is that all the clauses that relate to accountancy are withdrawn. We will make further consultations and ensure that, if need be, it will come back. I have also to state clearly that there are certain issues which have been mentioned, which are not proposed in these amendments. The issue of sacking individuals is not there.
