Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, we are actually overregulating. In the process of doing so, we are stifling the economy. If we say that advertisements for alcohol cannot be carried out between 6.00 a.m. and 8.30 p.m., we are assuming that from January to December, between 6.00 a.m. to 8.30 p.m., children do not do anything else, but sit watching television.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. For avoidance of doubt, Order No.9 has three limbs; we have dealt with only one limb. The progress reported was only in relation to the first limb. Therefore, we cannot say that Sen. Adan and the Chair reported progress on the whole of Order No.9. I have the impression that the Chair got my point of order when I rose for the first time. Indeed, you ruled that after reporting progress on 9(i), we are going to go back The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ...
