Madam Deputy Speaker, again I think that is a very different question. Should the member wish to pose that, he can do so. Let me clarify to him and the House that the power of appointing acting magistrates does rest with the Minister, but he has delegated that power to the Deputy Minister. I can give the member the assurance that acting magistrates are appointed in terms of the provisions set out in the law, most often on the recommendation of chief or senior magistrates. Thank you. [Applause.]
