Hon. Temporary Chairman, I am happy to drop the amendment in part (b) , so that we leave the Bill under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education. That is best because we are approaching it as a “Language Bill” and not a “Disability Bill”. If we introduce the Ministry...

Hon. Speaker, I am privileged to sit in that Committee.
