I move amendment No. 7:


In page 15, line 8, after "inability," to insert "not exceeding 12 months,".
If somebody is temporarily unavailable, there needs to be some sort of, to use the Minister's phrase, "certainty" provided as to what is meant by "temporarily", given the importance of the role of the commission and the importance of the commission members. My party proposes that there be a 12 month time period put on temporary inability.
