    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. This Bill gives the PSC enough powers to function effectively. Otherwise, the PSC, being just a department within the Office of the President, has not had the powers and staff to function effectively. This Bill gives enough powers to the PSC. It also expands the mandate of PSC, so that they can effectively undertake their responsibilities. I am particularly happy with quite a number of clauses that have been included in this Bill. Among them is Clause 4 where the Bill gives the PSC powers to abolish some of the offices that have been established in the public service for many years. They have become irrelevant to the current PSC’s mandate, but those positions are still there. This Bill gives the Commission powers to abolish some of those offices, knowing that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
