COMMITTEE 2006 ANNUAL REPORT: ADOPTION
Chairperson: Dr E
Schoeman (ANC)
Document handed out:
Annual
Constitutional Review Draft Report 2006
SUMMARY
The Committee unanimously adopted its 2006 Annual Report. The Report would
be tabled in Parliament the following week, before the end of the current
Parliamentary session.
MINUTE
The Chairperson explained to Members that since the initial title had not
allowed the inclusion of a referral of the Joint Rules Committee of the
National Assembly, the report should be titled “Annual Constitutional Review
Report”.
The Committee agreed.
Dr J Delport (DA) asked why the Democratic Alliance’s objections to the review
of the appropriateness of the term “leader of the official opposition” were not
noted in the Report.
The Chairperson explained that a letter written to the Rules Committee of the
National Assembly had included both the proposal submitted to the Committee as
well as the objections raised by the Democratic Alliance regarding the proposed
review of the term “Leader of the Official Opposition”. The Chairperson of the
Rules Committee had advised that the Committee take a neutral stance on the
matter so as to not pre-empt the decision of the Joint Rules Committee. He
added that this correspondence between the two Committees would be relayed to
the Democratic Alliance. He reiterated that the objection of the party had been
placed on record.
Subsequent to the review of the Report, the Committee unanimously adopted it.
The meeting was adjourned.
