I do not want to be accused of adding in something or taking something out. As the Senator reads the amendment, it is: "Failure by a debtor to comply with subsection (5)(a)(ii), without reasonable excuse, constitutes contempt of court, and the District Court judge may deal with the matter accordingly." I believe the objective is the same, namely, to provide a workable option for the sanction against the person who refuses to co-operate with the court. Having been given the opportunity to look at this amendment, I believe it is necessary and I am willing to accept it. That is why I was fussy about the actual wording.
