The reason why I move this is that in item 31 you are providing for “shipping and navigation on inland waterways declared by the Federal Government to be Federal waterways”. Therefore if you retain waterways here there will be a certain overlap between items 30 and 31. Secondly, if you use the general expression “waterways” it will be susceptible to the construction that the entire control over the waterways including irrigation and other rights may be taken over by the centre, which is certainly not the object of the original item. So in order to show that it must have a restrictive operation it is much better that waterways should be omitted from item 30 and brought under item 31. And later on for the development of waterways special provision is made. The idea is to preserve in their integrity all the other rights of the provinces in regard to waterways. For all these reasons I move this amendment.
