Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On behalf of the Departmental Committee on Lands, I look forward to receiving the Petition. We will do due diligence to make sure that we look at all the issues raised therein.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise on behalf of the Mediation Committee because of the two land Bills that were forwarded to it. I want to bring to the attention of the Hon.
