Mr Y Cassim (DA) asked with regard to the minutes of 08 February 2017 whether it was a resolution of the Committee that they should review the National Youth Development Agency Act because they didn’t discuss that issue as something they agreed upon. Secondly, bullet point 6.4 should be very broad because when the Committee says the NYDA should report to the Committee on the impact of their programmes. There were specifics that were actually asked to be grouped under the impact of the programmes. Members were actually looking for a very detailed report from the agency in this regard.

The Chairperson said they should not take those request as resolutions but should first workshop the Act and see what the gaps are in the Act. Those requests should be in the body on discussions. Then probably on their activities to action, without clouding the recommendation, the Committee must flag it so that when it looked at the dashboard, it can put it there to say that it needs a dedicated day because there is a feeling in the Committee to look at the review of the NYDA Act.

The Chairperson said the support staff should specify that issue when they write to departments because they want to measure the impact to young people.

Mr Cassim asked if the Committee has now adopted the whole sets of minutes because in his understanding there should be a report that should be adopted by the Committee.

The Chairperson said there is no outstanding report that should be adopted by the Committee. The Committee adopted that package of minutes and this will be channelled administratively to the Speaker's Office that will then write to departments informing them of the recommendations of the Committee, which in turn departments have to attend to. On the Committee’s dashboard they will pick up issues that were outstanding and deal with them as they go along with the Committee programme.

The Chairperson thanked all Members of the Committee for attending the meeting.

The meeting adjourned.
