House Chair, Deputy President and hon members, there is nothing to worry about with this Bill. The ANC supports the Bill. [Interjections.] The Bill seeks to give effect to the presidential proclamation and fulfils provisions of section 209(1) of the Constitution of the Republic.
The General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill, Gilab, as it is affectionately known, is a technical Bill. It does not address the policy matters that you are so scared of. The process of introducing this Bill will ensure stability and provide clarity on the State Security Agency's delivery mandate. That is what we want to do. The ANC supports the Bill, as I have already indicated. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
Bill read a second time (Democratic Alliance dissenting).
