    "content": "Relations Act provides that the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee shall take over the residual functions of the transition entity established under the law relating to the transition to devolved government after dissolution of such entity. In this regard, once the TA is dissolved, the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee shall take over its residual functions. It is, therefore, the view of the CIOC that the term of the TA should not be extended and its residual function should be taken up by the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee upon expiry of its term. On behalf of the Committee, it is my pleasant duty and privilege to present this Report to the House for consideration and approval. Having heard the submission of the Cabinet Secretary for Planning and Devolution and the Chairperson of the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee weighing in these submissions against the views of consultative forum and guided by the law, the Committee resolved to have a meeting on 18th February to determine the issues. During that meeting, the Committee agreed that outstanding activities of TA which are residual in nature could be taken up by the Intergovernmental Relations Committee. The Committee observed that the Cabinet Secretary had addressed all these activities and the TA had cleared with most of the core responsibilities. The final recommendation of the Committee is that in view of the provision of the Constitution, the provision of the Transition to Devolved Government Act and the Intergovernmental Relations Act, the life of the TA should not be extended beyond 5th March, 2016. Subsequently, the outstanding work left by the TA should be taken over by the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee on 6th March, 2016 in accordance with the provisions of the Intergovernmental Relations Act. I beg to move. I ask the Member for Othaya, who is a Member of this Committee, to second."
