    "content": "hang by itself. It is a set of amendments that I have proposed that talk about the whole board. There is the principle of the two-thirds gender representation, inclusivity of people with disability and issues like that are also a set of amendments that go together in the same spirit. I am not just proposing the deletion of the Cabinet Secretary as presented, but I am also, in the subsequent amendments that are related to Clause 9, presenting a vision of what this new board, as constituted, would be. Majority of it would be good. My thoughts add to what the Committee spent a lot of time doing, but to argue that because the Committee spent a lot of time doing things is enough reason for other ideas not to be brought in is unacceptable. I beg Members to look and consume, not just amendments proposed to Clause 9(c), but the whole set of amendments. For instance, the other amendments talk about other qualifications, the composition, how the nominees of the civil society and public benefit organisations are selected. It is in the same spirit of adding to the work of the Committee. I do not dismiss the good work they have done and the amount of time they have spent. We are also spending time adding on to it and that is why we have the process."
