Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Just for the Members to know, I wanted to explain that initially, the tribunal was established under the miscellaneous part of the Bill.

The First Schedule of the AFFA Act provides that “former institution” means any institution established by the Repeal Act or invoked Legal Notice existing immediately before the appointment day and include the Coconut Development Authority and others” under which the Sugar Board falls.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to the Bill. I want to thank our colleague for bringing it up. The Bill is good. We had an opportunity to look at the Bill and we scrutinised areas that we thought will make the industry a better one. The principal object of this Bill is to create a proper legal framework to govern the sugar sector to address the plight of sugarcane farmers in the country. The House may recall, and it has been said by the sponsor, that the AFA collapsed many State institutions in the ...
