Chairperson, I want to move a draft resolution on behalf of the Chairperson of the NCOP:
That the Council appoints the following members to serve on the Mediation Committee in respect of the Children's Amendment Bill [B 19D - 2006 (Reprint)] (National Council of Provinces - sec 76(2)):
Qikane A N D Eastern Cape Setona T S Free State Mazibuko F Gauteng Vilakazi J N KwaZulu-Natal Sibiya J Limpopo Tolo B J Mpumalanga Sulliman M A Northern Cape Kolweni Z S North West Lamoela H Western Cape
As there is no speaker's list, I shall now put the question. The question is that the motion be agreed to. As the decision is dealt with in terms of section 65 of the Constitution, I shall first ascertain whether all delegation heads are present in the Chamber to cast their province's votes. Are you all present? Yes?
In accordance with Rule 71, I shall first allow provinces the opportunity to make their declaration of vote if they so wish. Is there any province that wishes to do so? None. We shall now proceed to the voting on the question. I'll do so in alphabetical order per province. Delegation heads must please indicate to the Chair whether they vote in favour or against or abstain from the voting.
