    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT the Bill be amended in clause 2 – (d) in the definition of the term “authorized officer” by inserting the words “a counselor lawyer” immediately after the words “a teacher”; If you may notice, the authorized officers that we already have in the Bill include police officer, a chief, a children’s officer, probation officer, prisons officer, a registered medical practitioner, labour officer and a teacher. I wish the chair can listen to my explanation. The authorized officers that you have include police officer, However, when you are dealing, especially with children in conflict with the law or children in need of care and protection, the most important officers are counselors and lawyers. So, even though we want to lump others in the general definition, it is important that we include a counselor and a lawyer now that we are talking about giving legal aid to children who are in conflict with the law. I am sorry, I want to correct. It is written “counselor lawyer”. That was not my intention. My intention is “counselor, lawyer” or any other officer."
