October 26 is the date set by Parliament to debate a motion calls on legislators to express their loss of confidence in the Attorney General and to call on the Prime Minister to "immediately relieve him of the portfolio of Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago".
The opposition motion also asks the House of Representatives to express its "strongest disapproval" of what it calls "the flagrant breach of parliamentary trust by the Attorney General's involvement in the premature proclamation of Section 34 of the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings) Act."
It says that the Attorney General participated in the presentation of the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings) bill which contained a clause that created "an amnesty for certain legal proceedings, referred to as Section 34".
