Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support this amendment. I think the Senate wants to clear the confusion which would be there if we used the words “director-general”. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to make my comments on this Bill. It is unfortunate it has been tabled without a report from the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I intend to go towards the direction of opposing it.

This is not going to be a positive issue. It will be important to be relooked into. It is introducing changes ...
