    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to encourage the Leader of the Majority Party to relax. There is no person who is more passionate about children issues than me. Indeed, I have followed these Bills from before I came to Parliament up to now. The delay has not been Parliament’s. He only said it was brought last year and I brought a sister Bill, which is the Child Justice Bill, even way before then. It has just come to the House for First Reading. I do not even think it has come for First Reading, but it has been published. Sometimes it is not our fault as a House when things delay. The Bill delayed more outside Parliament than within Parliament. The concerns he is raising are the reason we must look at the amendments. Part of what this Bill seeks to do is to ensure that the Children Act is harmonised with the Constitution. For example, Article 53 of the Constitution outlaws discrimination against children born out of wedlock, yet there are almost eight provisions in the Children Bill that discriminates against children born out of wedlock. I am a person who should be more worried because I do not have a child. I do not know what my husband does while I am here. He may bring me many children born 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."
