I have no problem with the expression “cut and paste” if it means copied. However, if there is an insinuation that the Assembly is guilty of plagiarism, then I may want to ask the Member for Shinyalu if he is in order.

Member for Shinyalu, I am serious about that because this Bill has travelled through all the stages and we now have it here. It belongs to the National Assembly. It is out of the hands of whoever sponsored it. It is now in our hands. So, I am just worried that your reference would, therefore, insinuate or impute improper motive on the part of the National Assembly. That is all I am careful about – that the National Assembly is an agent of plagiarism.

So, are you in support of it?

So that I properly get you in the HANSARD, express yourself on the HANSARD. Instead of referring to second traditional, delete the entire title and read the words you want to substitute thereof.

I would have allowed your Floor amendment were it only restricted to “traditional” or that other word “indigenous.” However, when you insert those other words---

It is up to you to express what you want.

That is now a further amendment. Let us see how it works. If you look at Clause 2, when you are further amending a title, you should be very careful because if you introduce a word which has not been defined in the body of the Bill, then the effect is that you have negatived that Bill. You have actually killed the Bill. So, one stroke on the title only changes the character of the Bill. Because of that, I will disallow your further amendment. So, what we have is the proposition from the Committee Chair.
