    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, basically, I think we are arguing too much about the same thing. I think so as to progress, we could do two things. I understand the argument of both parties. The argument of the Committee was that we do not want the Government to load the Commission with unnecessary staff that they do not require, although the Bill also takes care of that. It says that it is upon the request. The other fear that the Committee had is that the Commission would be denied the opportunity to recruit staff by being starved of funds. However, there is a constitutional cure for that. Clause 252(1) (c) gives the Commission power to recruit its own staff. I think we can live with the Bill as it is. I request the Committee to withdraw and then we proceed."
