    "content": "the Committee wanted to do, but within a legal basis. If it is coming as a new clause, let there be a new clause to establish the CWSK to look at this Order of 2014, see what it was, and see how to capture it. We are repealing that Act. So, it will die when we repeal the Act of 2003. But, we can save everything if we do it properly by ensuring that the objectives the Committee wanted to achieve by bringing it here are brought in, but in a manner that will not face legal challenges. On the advisory that has been given by the Legal Department of Parliament, we do not want it going to the Senate or to the courts, and then we are all messed up. I advise that we move on since these new clauses will come at the end. That will probably be tomorrow or even on Tuesday next week. Let us have some time to think through it and bring it properly, as a new clause, specifically for the CWSK and where it comes in; noting, for example, that Clause 64 of the Bill has those provisions. We are not there yet, but I can tell you that Clause 64 allows matters to do with adoption and that the CS shall, in consultation with council, establish child rescue centres for the temporary care of children, bla, bla, bla. We could find a place where we place the CWSK and its functions within the Bill – not necessarily within the functions of the Children Services Department, which is where the contradiction is. We are defining the functions of children services, which are at the Secretary of Children Services, and creating a body there or elsewhere. So, let us look at it without rushing through it. I believe we will achieve the win-win that we want."
