I am, therefore, seeking directions that the House be informed if the Commission has, one, been informed of this Bill and two, whether it has made any recommendations in respect of this Bill and given them to the National Assembly and the Senate and, three, whether the recommendations can be represented or tabled before this House so that we can deal with them. view
