That is how we will make the CS answerable under the Finance Act. We will tell him whether it is under a toll road or under PPP. So, according to the Finance Bill, we decline to give you the authority to levy fees because it will be double taxation or levy.

The proposed amendment will enable us to have good English and grammar in the Bill. If you come from the lakeshore, you will always know when English is being broken.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not know what may have happened here. I had an amendment to Clause 70. These amendments are reconciled in the Clerk’s Office. I had an amendment to clean it up or recast Clause 70, the way it is. I am raising a point of order and this is between me and the Clerks-at-the-Table. I had an amendment, and I have notes here with which I had submitted. I do not know for what reason it is not in the Order Paper.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 73 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “must” appearing in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the word “shall.” This is for good English, good legislative language and good lexicon.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 74 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words “relevant/respective” and substituting therefor the word “relevant”. In the Bill, the grammar was “relevant/respective.” I am sure that an engineer must have drafted this Bill. Now, lawyers are in the House. We can now come back to what legal practice is.
