To circulate the amended Customs Act or not

Thu, Jul 21st 2011, 12:09 PM

Dear Editor,

Mr. Ryan Pinder, Member of Parliament, is correct to question why the Government has not circulated the new Customs Act throughout the business community for discussion.
But on the other hand, he confirms reading all 350 pages of it, yet he has not circulated it to the business community for discussion. You've gotta love it when elections are in the air.

This "political fight" reminds me of another great quote by H. L. Mencken: "A national political campaign is better than the best circus ever heard of, with a mass baptism and a couple of hangings thrown in."

Surely if circulating the Bill is so important, and I agree it is, all Mr. Pinder has to do is send copies around and the matter is resolved?

One often wonders if our Parliament is elected to solve problems or create them?

Yours, etc.,
RICK LOWE
