Hon Deputy Speaker, I move without notice my amended motion:
That the House - 1) notes that the Parliamentary Millennium Project (PMP) was established in 2000 as an initiative, under the leadership of the Executive Authority and assisted by an Advisory Board, that sought to use creative and interactive means to engage South Africans on issues of nation-building and heritage;
2) further notes recent proposals and resolutions to reform the PMP in order to refine its organisation and focus areas; and
3) amends the resolution of the National Assembly of 11 November 2010 on the PMP as follows:
That the House, subject to the concurrence of the National Council of Provinces, resolves to re-launch the PMP as a nation0-building and heritage programme of Parliament and to replace the governance structure with a multiparty Parliamentary Millennium Council; the Parliamentary Millennium Council to -
a) engage with institutional and national efforts to develop and promote the South African and African identity and heritage;
b) report and make recommendations on its functions and activities to Parliament as required; and
c) consist of 10 members from the National Assembly (ANC 5; DA 2; Cope 1; IFP 1; and smaller parties 1; and 3 members from the National Council of Provinces (ANC 2; DA 1)).
No, I think there's a mistake here. That part must be deleted.
What must be deleted? The last part on who co-chairs?
The chairs.
Madam Deputy Speaker, I have no objection to it being amended but we did reach consensus in the Chief Whips Forum yesterday that there would be two members from the DA in the NA component.
The hon member is correct that the DA will get two members; the chairing was not part of it. I think it's just a mistake. So, we will remove the chairs and add a member for the DA.
Motion as amended, agreed to.
