    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, then there are other amendments which are again in my view not very controversial in the sense that we either agree or not that the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act has unfinished business and the time for them to conclude their work and report as required by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act of 2008, that time has or is about to expire and within whatever time remains, they cannot be able to do what they must do as required not only under that law but under the general spirit of the National Accord. This was an important tool and mechanism identified under the National Accord for purposes of getting the country to get to terms with its past and for that matter to heal because healing can only be possible if we, as citizens, are prepared to do so. You will find that on page 118 of this Bill. The relevant provisions give the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) a duty to report to the House but the National Assembly is provided in 4(b) on page 12180 that if we are satisfied for the reasons that they have given and a request is justified, extend this duration of that time. Then there is an important rider that that extension can be carried or realized even after the time has expired so that the door is not closed after the time has expired."
