Thank you, Chair.
I was simply going to voice our concern as well with the point that Mr. Walsh raised. It was a graphic illustration of what is wrong with the direction of some of this bill, when he pointed out that it should be the will of the people that has primacy here, not some administrative detail or filling out the correct form in triplicate. To block a duly elected member of Parliament from taking their seat and exercising their duties, based on the failure to cross a âtâ or dot an âiâ, seems a breach of privilege, a breach of the primacy of Parliament, giving too much authority to statutory administration.
So I support this amendment.
