    "content": "I had indicated earlier that I was glad that the Bill incorporates modern management standards such as performance indicators. However, let me just stress that we need to provide timeframes to ensure that performance indicators are met. I am very happy that one of the things that are added is the definition of “personal injury”. That also includes a mental condition. That is a very good definition. I know that it is legal practice to define a word using the same word. Because we are now revolutionising the ways in which we do things, I would urge the Committee to re-define property, so that you do not say that property means property. I know it is a legal way of doing things but it is one of those things that as a public interest lawyer, I normally find ridiculous. I do not know what you mean when you tell me property means property. I know that it is a way of doing things but you do not have to do things in an awkward manner, because it has always been done that way. On the definition of “working day”, I want to urge the Committee--- I do not know if at this point they will be able to do this or some of us may be forced to bring amendments. Working day is only indicated to exclude Sunday and public holidays. The Constitution guarantees the worship day for Seventh Day Adventists, which is Saturday. Three quarters of my constituents are Seventh Day Adventists. My husband is an elder of the Seventh Adventist Church and my mother was a very strong Seventh Day Adventist. So, I am here to support very strongly the rights of Seventh Day Adventists. I would want to encourage the Chair of the Committee to make Saturday a non-working day because the Constitution guarantees that right."
