    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I apologise. We were supposed to have harmonised our amendments. Unfortunately, during the recess we were not able to find ample time. The reason I am raising this point of order is that if the amendment by the Chairman passes, then mine dies. That is my understanding, because the amendments relate to the same matter and vice versa. Because the Chairman has priority, naturally his amendment will be considered first. I want to bring to the attention of the Chairman the fact that they are proposing a standard for children different from the standard in the Employment Act and which is lower. Section 56 of the Employment Act provides for prohibition of employment of children between 13 and 16 years of age. No person shall employ a child who has not attained the age of 13 years, whether gainfully or otherwise in any undertaking. A child of between 13 and 16 years of age may be employed to perform light work which is not likely to be harmful. I am just wondering if the Chairman is aware of the Employment Act and whether it is in our best interest to have concurrent mandates for two Cabinet Secretaries. Sometimes that means nobody does the work. The Chairman could inform us as he moves his amendment. Thank you."
