Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I overall support the principle of this bill, however, I do want to state it for the record that as I come from the riding of Thebacha where we practice full contact, hard ball politics and after two years we are still sorting out the fallout from the election which saw wholesale abuse of proxies. I will be scrutinizing very closely the amendments in the Act that intend to leave in proxies to ensure myself and the people of Thebacha there will be no chance whatsoever of any kind of repeat similar to the fiasco we went through during the last election. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
