Deputy Chairperson, the proceedings of the legislature are important so that members can know how a decision was arrived at with regard to the amendments.
During the second time, everyone had to walk out of the House and the only people who remained were the DA and ID. Do we know that then these Bills were pushed through the House without knowing that, a week prior to that, the opposition made a standpoint in the House to say that we support this Bill?
I want to say that, firstly, this was not a unanimous decision. Secondly, from the other members of the House, we support these Bills and we want to see them implemented in the way that they are before this House. We also want to see that these Bills will bring a better quality of life to all the citizens of this country; whatever their colour, and that is what we stand for. I thank you. [Applause.]
