I wish to speak on Fifth Stage and propose a verbal amendment, as is permitted under Standing Orders. The amendment reads, "On page 3, line 11, to delete "2009" and substitute "1009" ". I am tabling this amendment to negate the section. The effect would be that the section would not be enforced. I do not know where the Minister is. We are still discussing the Bill. This outrageous repossession Bill which he is putting forward is giving the banks an open door policy.
