    "content": "There are several issues addressed by this clause. Basically, there is a lot of thinking and research that went into this Bill unlike most other Bills. There is ethnicity in terms of constitution of public offices. Currently, it should not be more than 30 per cent of one ethnic group. I think that is even too high. It should be reduced to 20 per cent. One time, there was an issue that was brought to the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation in terms of a regulation. There was a committee where all the nine members came from one ethnic group. When we inquired, we were told there were almost like four or five other institutions that were nominating independently. However, all of them happened to be from the same ethnic group. This country belongs to 44 tribes. Let us address this issue exhaustively because that is why our people fight. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
