I move amendment No. 51:


In page 49, subsection (1)(a)(i), line 16, after ?domiciled? to insert ?and ordinarily resident?.
It is a small suggestion. This is to broaden the definition and what we are trying to achieve is self-evident. Someone could be domiciled in the country but not ordinarily resident. We are suggesting that if someone is to be considered for a debt settlement arrangement then he or she should be ordinarily resident and should spend a substantial amount of his time in the State. It is simply to seek clarity on this section.
