Hon Deputy Chairperson, I move the motion printed in my name on the Order Paper as follows:
That the Council, notwithstanding Joint Rule 102 (a) and (c), which provide, inter alia, that the Constitutional Review Committee must, annually before the first day of May, invite the public to submit to the committee written representations on any constitutional matter and that the committee must consider these at the start of the third term of a year, subject to the concurrence of the National Assembly, condones the timeframes adopted by the committee for the public to make submissions for 2009, namely 19 July to 19 August; and resolves that the committee proceeds to consider the submissions as soon as possible after the closing date.
