Chair, may I just correct one little issue? There was extensive consultation that took place in the previous Parliament. In terms of us here, we were only supposed to deal with procedural issues and therefore there was no consultation that needed to take place now, you see.
The last NCOP sittings of the previous Parliament dealt with it extensively. We were just supposed to adopt and deal with this particular matter. Unfortunately election programmes did not allow them to do that. I just wanted to correct what the member has said.
I also want to indicate that we agree with Mr Watson, because we were not happy in the committee with the way we were dealt with in this particular matter. It was brought to us just this morning.
The NA dealt with it last week and we have put it forward, but because of the need to make sure that there's continuity, we deal with these particular matters. We have all agreed in the committee that this Bill should go through and we would ask this House to pass it. Thank you.
