Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 45 be amended in section (8) by inserting the words “represent the ethnic, gender and social diversity of the country and” immediately after the word “shall”. It is no longer as per the Order Paper but based on the proposed amendment by the Committee.
