11.8 The Committee noted with concern that certain stakeholders had made submissions to National Treasury while the Bill was before the Committee and an opportunity had been given for written and oral submissions to be made to the Committee. The Committee did not agree with the interpretation of clause 14 (3) of the Bill by some departments and stakeholders. That is the submission for request directly to National Treasury to revise or amend the framework before the publication of the Gazette in term of sub-section (1) of the Bill. The Committee ruled that all submissions should be directed to Parliament while the Bill is still before the Committee. It is only after publication of the Gazette in terms of subsection 2 of the Bill that such requests should be directed to the National Treasury.
