The arguments have been well put. Will the term limit contained in sections 14 and 15 be examined again and be left to the local organisation itself to decide if it will impose restrictions? Elsewhere in general company law, corporate governance conditions for directors have been become very strict over the past six years.

I urge the Minister to look at our amendments again.
