    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 29 of the Bill be amended in subsection (2) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph— (b) the duty to protect the child from neglect, abuse and discrimination; There is reference to differential treatment but in a manner that does not mean differential treatment. How can you protect a child from differential treatment when it is a positive thing? As Hon. Nyikal explained, if you have children with learning disabilities, you sit them in front of the class. That is differential treatment. There can be nothing wrong with that. The way the provision is worded makes it look like differential treatment is a bad thing. It is not. It is like affirmative action such as having 47 women representatives in the House. That is what I consider closest to differential treatment. I suggest that the provision stops at ‘and discrimination’. Thank you."
