Deputy Chairperson, I move the draft resolution printed in my name on the Order Paper, as follows:
That the Council, subject to the concurrence of the National Assembly, establishes an ad hoc joint committee in terms of Joint Rule 138, the committee to -
1) consider the request by the Minister in the Presidency - Performance Monitoring, Evaluation and Administration tabled on 10 November 2011 for Parliament to recommend seven candidates for appointment to the board of the National Youth Development Agency in terms of the requirements of the National Youth Development Agency Act, Act 54 of 2008;
2) consist of 9 members of the National Council of Provinces and 12 members of the National Assembly, as follows: ANC 7, DA 2, Cope 1; IFP 1 and 1 other smaller party;
3) exercise those powers in Joint Rule 32 that may assist it in carrying out its task; and
4) report by 30 April 2012.
I just want to clarify the following, Deputy Chairperson. The second clause provides for 9 members from the NCOP. So that members are not confused and think the 7 ANC members mentioned must be from the NCOP, let me say that the figures are for the National Assembly. Thank you, Deputy Chairperson. Question put: That the motion be agreed to.
IN FAVOUR: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West, Western Cape.
Motion accordingly agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
