LEMAUGA LYDIA SOSENE (Labour): I rise in the House, and thank you for the time to make a contribution to speak to the bill. I want to thank Minister Parker for his summary last week and chair the Hon Eugene Sage for the Environment Committee. I do want to thank the staff involved in drafting and putting together the amendments, and my appreciation to the members of the committee and all the submitters that took the time to put forward their thoughts, raising concerns through submissions to be considered on elements of the bill.
