Thank you, hon. Chairlady. My position on this is that as much as we want to say that we do not want to limit the period to 90 days, leaving this issue open ended is actually subjecting the taxpayer to horror.

I am saying that if we were able to resolve a presidential petition within six months--- Let us limit the period; let us not leave it open, otherwise people will never get their money back.

So, in order to avoid corruption and inconveniences, let us agree on a reasonable period of time within which the taxman can go to court and obtain a warrant. Therefore, I suggest five days.

Would I be in order to request that you give a direction that whenever a committee is presenting a report on a date that was not specified when the report was sought, the Chairperson should notify the Member who sought the report, so that he can be present in the House? Sometimes some of us are in Committees and when a report is given to this House ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. First, I am happy that there is an attempt to relieve the Exchequer from the funding of that parastatal. There is an attempt to make sure that, that parastatal that governs the fund becomes independent of Treasury.

This is a trend that can only be said to be useful to the many depositors who, in the past, as has been stated, suffered in the hands of collapsed financial institutions. However, I do have a small problem and I will propose that the Committee that has brought these amendments to look into it. Clause 10 of the Bill which proposes to amend Section 27 of the Principal Act by inserting Sub-section 4 is specifically stating that the corporation shall appropriate for future contributions to set off unpaid insured deposits and may resort ...
