    "content": " Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is one area that the Committee would like to differ with the proposal of my colleague. If you look at the officers who are defined in the draft Bill, they are all Government officers who interact with children in the course of their daily operations. Also, the Secretary may appoint a lawyer or a counselor as provided in the same definition by the words “any other officer authorized by the Director.” So, singling out counselor and lawyer is limiting. Tomorrow, there can be another officer who is important and needs to be included. That is why the Bill is proposing to include the words “any other officer who may be appointed by the Director.” That covers it more broadly than limiting it to two - a counselor and a lawyer. As I said, tomorrow another person may be important. How will we accommodate them? We will accommodate them if we have the words “any other officer authorized by the Director.” I request my colleague – because we have agreed The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
