• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I concede that the Chairman is usually appointed by the President. So, if he were to resign, he should send his resignation to the President. However, the Board Members are appointed by the Cabinet Secretaries. So, they should send their resignation letters to the Cabinet Secretary. I concur. view

• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I concur. The reason why the Committee persuaded me to allow this amendment was that if you leave the qualifications to be a general degree without stating what else the person has, there was a feeling that the Board may tailor the qualifications in some way.

We have provided for those who are qualified in law, economics, immigration, refugee affairs, administration, management, population studies, demography and such other additional qualifications as the Board may prescribe. We think that this covers the general area ... view

• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the reason why we are agreed is that there are many people who may be aggrieved by the decision of the Director.

However, if one is not satisfied with it, then he can go to the High Court. So, I support New Clause 21A. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 21A. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, actually we were suggesting that where the Minister or Cabinet Secretary has refused and you feel aggrieved - and there are many cases when we refuse – that person can very well go to court. But in other jurisdictions, and because there are many such cases--- There are many people who want to work in this country or pass through this country. It would clog the courts. That is why we are suggesting a sieving mechanism. He is not actually interfering with the Minister. The Minister will have made a decision. But before somebody goes to ... view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I support the amendment. Actually, we had indicated the Marriage Act but we did not indicate the two other Acts of Parliament that also deal with marriages; the Hindu and Moslem. So, I support. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, I agree only that it is unfortunate we have to remove the position of the vice-chair because we thought we will deal with gender issues here. But, somehow, we omitted to put it in the main body of the Bill. So, I support the amendment. view
