Okay, I am almost two minutes in and no one’s spelled out what “PECO” stand for…
[Oh, and the speaker calls it "legislation"...isn't it an ordinance?]

@iFaqeer quite right. The thing is that Madam showed up late. When I started I introduced everyone and said quite clearly that it was the “Prevention of Electronic Crime Ordinance”. Zahid also gave a 10 minute intro to the Ordinance explaining what the highlights were. Let me see if I have on the footage that I had recorded. I will put it up. Although @rabia did mention it in her intro, you are right that we should be clear in our statements.
BTW the good news is that the Prime Minister has finally heard all the voices that were being raised and has said that he will send the Ordinance back to the committee and for public feedback.
