    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in the proposed section 29A — (a) by deleting subsection (1) and substituting therefor the following new subsection — (1) Where pursuant to section 157 of the Children Act, a child is to be placed in the continuous care and control of an applicant who is an employee under this Act, the employee shall be entitle to one month's pre-adoption leave with full pay from the date of the placement of the child. Now, the justification for that is that there is need to strike a balance between the needs of the employee and employer, considering the best needs of the child. To that end, the Committee was of the view that, that provision of a period of one month for purposes of pro-adoptive leave is sufficient to enable an adopting parent to provide continuous care to the child proposed for adoption. Hon. Chairman, I move that Clause (b) be amended by inserting the following new subsections immediately after subsection (3). That is contained in the Order Paper unless you guide me that I should read all of it. I wanted to read the justification."
