I move amendment No. 72:

In page 53, line 21, to delete "3 years" and substitute "6 months".

The basis for this amendment is fairly self-explanatory. We feel a three year review for those under the old ward of court system is too long. The review should be carried out within six months to allow these people benefit from the new legislation. Amendment No. 126 argues that persons subject to detention pursuant to an order of the wardship court should expect a review as soon as possible, but ultimately within six months of the commencement of the legislation. Amendment No. 127 makes the same argument. The amendments are fairly self-explanatory.
