    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 14— (a) by deleting the words “living with mental disability” appearing after the word “person” in paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the words “suffering from mental disorder”; and (b) by deleting the words “living with mental disability” appearing after the word “person” in paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the words “ suffering from mental disorder”. The justification is that the Mental Health Act uses the term “persons suffering from mental disorder”. This Act is referred to in Clause 21 of the Bill. It is important that there is consistency in the use of terms bearing the same meaning and usage across the statute books and, more specifically in this case, because there is a cross-reference to that Act. We want to have uniformity between the Bill we are amending and the Mental Health Act. Usage of those words must be similar in both laws and that is the essence of this amendment."
