    "content": "I just want to make a request as I had indicated that under (b) they have an insertion coming after sub-clause 4 that requires that members of National Committee shall appoint the chairperson and vice chairperson from amongst themselves at the first meeting. I have difficulties with that in view of the critical role played by public collections and coming from our history. Looking at the members to be appointed, it means, for example, the person appointed under 4(1)(a) who is a Principal Secretary, I do not know if such a person will be eligible for appointment as the Chair, and the person appointed by the Council of Governors. It leaves a lot of room for manipulation and confusion. I request that we reconsider having an appointing authority to appoint the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee amongst the people constituting it, excluding 1(a), the Principal Secretary. It is a request I need to make to consider. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
