For clarity, this issue is addressed in section 13. I take it that we will have an opportunity to debate that section. I tabled two amendments to section 13 but they were ruled out of order on the basis that they could constitute a charge on the Exchequer. The clause about a potential charge on the Exchequer is becoming a joke. The most liberal interpretation possible is being made about what could comprise a charge on the Exchequer.
