I am not a Member of this Committee but it is a good amendment. It is short and clear, and I support it. However, on the Chairperson’s term of six years, when we get to the committee of the whole House, I may propose that if a chairperson is seen to have done a good job, we give him an extension of three years because we have had people who do exemplary work. As my colleague has mentioned, there is the example of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). If someone has done a good job, there is nothing wrong ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, can you protect me from the noise at that corner?

Thank you, for the protection. The amendment suggests that after six years, the holder of the office vacates. I am proposing to the Committee that maybe we should take consideration for extension of service, particularly if a person is doing a good job. We should re-examine this amendment.

Secondly, in moving the Motion, the Vice-Chair mentioned the fact that this is a very important area and that we need to have somebody appointed county government statistician.

Given that the position will be created upon the passage of this Bill, it will be easier to access such information. ...
