    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 2 – Transition 3. At the commencement of this Act, any person who, immediately before the commencement of this Act was a member or staff of any of the boards proposed to be reconstituted under this Act shall be deemed to be a member or staff of the reconstituted board for the unexpired period of his or her term of service. This amendment is to provide for a transitional mechanism for the boards that are proposed to be reconstituted in this Bill, so that we do not occasion a regulatory lacuna in the various professions. It is a transitional clause. The other reason is that the Act will come into operation immediately upon publication. In essence, that means that all the boards that have been reconstituted by this Act will immediately cease to exist hence occasioning a regulatory gap or lacuna . To cure this, it is prudent that there be a balance which allows for a smooth transition. Serving board members whose positions have been transited into the new boards will be allowed to continue serving, but only for the unexpired period of their term. The staff who have been employed by those boards also need to be clearly assured of their continuity of service. I am just providing a bridge between the previous law and this one."
