    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move;- THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by deleting the words ‘co-opt persons who are not members’ and substituting therefor the words ‘engage any person who is not by resolution a member’. The reason being, “co-option” is different from engaging a person. What we are seeking to do is make it very clear that we are not co-opting people into the Council but we are engaging consultants for purposes of performing a particular task that the members cannot do. So, we want to make it very clear that it is not co-option of members to the Council but to engage persons who are only competent in the task that is ahead."
