Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with your permission, can we consult very briefly to enable us move faster?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is unfortunate that today we are quite busy. We have been consulting before and we have been moving faster. Because of that, we do not seem to agree on this one, but to enable us move forward, I withdraw it. If we think it is important, we could recommit it later.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was just wondering whether that is the way to go because the Hon. Chair is stipulating all the amendments at once. Are we going one by one or all of them?

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, since we are not going one by one, can we just consult on one?

I beg to move: The further amendment, based on consultations and given that there were proposed amendments I had dropped that are affecting a lot of these definitions, I am going to indicate which ones we are accepting and which ones we are not. I drop the definitions of “appropriate adult” and “children’s court” because they are already defined. I will drop the definition of “child labour” because it is already referred to under the Employment Act and also in the Bill. I drop “a child voluntarily acknowledges responsibility” because it had to do with the amendments that I drop. ...

Chair, can I say something to that? It is not that I want to oppose or something like that I just wanted to indicate to the Chair that we really needed to have included the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, but I will let it pass.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, sometimes I get confused a little bit about procedure. At what point should he indicate anything about procedure?
