I do not like the idea of the members of the council being appointed by the Minister and I would like her to examine the suggestion in our amendment.

Our other amendment concerns the members of the society. It must be clear that the nine members must be elected and not selected by the council. The section provides that the council shall consist of nine members of the society who have been selected by its members but it ought to state who have been elected by its members.
