And while the CCJ has tangentially addressed the Ninth Amendment - there are nine more chances for you in the public to speak on it.
The schedule for the public consultations on the ninth amendment has been released and it shows and rigorous schedule of 9 meetings stretched over 10 weeks.
The schedule for those meetings to be held by the Constitution and Foreign Affairs Committee was released today.
The first meeting will be held a week from tomorrow in Corozal Town at the Corozal Civic Center. A week after the Committee will travel to Orange Walk Town where the meeting will be held at the sports complex. Then on September 7th, they go south to Dangriga at the Father Marin Parish Hall. A week after, they'll be in San Pedro at the Angel Nunez auditorium. They take a week off for the 21st. September holiday and return on the 28th September at the Independence Primary School Auditorium. On fifth October, they go to Punta Gorda where the meeting will be held at the Sports Complex. After that, they go to San Ignacio where the meeting will be held at the ITVET building. From there, they take it to rural Belize at the Maskall Community Center and finally it wraps up on the second November at the UB auditorium in Belmopan.
Those wishing to make presentations can do so at the public consultations or in writing to clerk of the national assembly.
We note that the remaining schedule spans a total of 70 days - added to the 30 plus days since it was introduced on July 22nd - which brings the total to 103 days - 14 more than the minimum 90 required for consultation on a constitutional amendment.
