I move amendment No. 2:
In page 6, line 29, to delete "Part 3" and substitute "sections 36to 39inclusive and section 41".
Section 2 contains necessary interpretations of the key terms in the section. Amendment No. 2 proposes to amend line 29 which deals with human rights. There is a difference in the interpretation of the definition between the enforcement role of the human rights commission and I think the narrower interpretation should be confined to sections 36 to 39, inclusive, and section 41 to allow for as wide a role as possible for the work of the human rights commission as defined in Part 3 of the Bill.
