Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I know Hon. Koske is receiving guidance. As I had indicated, we had a meeting earlier. I want to bring to his attention that in paragraph (d) we had said that we should retain the OCS because ordinarily, if you find a lost child, you do not look for the Secretary of Children Services.

to the police. That is why the OCS is mentioned. He was also to bring a further amendment to provide that the OCS should then notify the Secretary of Children Services within 24 hours. It would be an onerous task on a member of the public, who is just being a good Samaritan, to be expected to look for the Secretary of Children Services if he finds a child outside his home. He is just trying to be helpful. The nearest place to go is a police station. I hope Hon. Koske got me. Thank you.

My understanding is that the Chairman of the Committee is retaining his first three amendments but withdrawing the fourth amendment while introducing a new sub-clause after sub-clause (5) providing that the OCS shall notify the Secretary of Children Services within 24 hours.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT clause 188 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (4) by deleting the word “and” at the end of paragraph (b) When you put the word “and” at the place where it has been put it means that each of the sub-paragraphs cannot stand alone and that they must all be met for if one is not met then the entire provision fails. So I am just deleting the word “and” so that each of the paragraphs can stand alone. Thank you.
