I would like Members to listen to me very carefully on my amendment to Clause 4. The one on the Order Paper is the Departmental Committee’s amendment. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you will realise that the Authority that we are creating, as we explained earlier, is a national Authority to deal with matters of unemployment.

If you go through the Bill, you will realise that there are many other affirmative action incentives, including tax incentives and internship opportunities for the youth. The import of this particular amendment is to remove the county government from the Bill, so that the Bill does not have to go to the Senate at this stage.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
