    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank my colleagues for their presentations. I really appreciate their concerns. This is a House of debate. We have a mandate, as a Committee, which we have been able to execute. We have been able to table our Report. We are convinced that the reasons for rejecting the regulations are valid. Our mandate is very unique. We do not assist. Once they are published and tabled on the Floor of the House, we do not amend or vary. We consider as tabled. In my submissions earlier when I was moving the Motion, it should not be seen that we are opening another door for competition with the Senate. If the aspects of law that we have raised are addressed, we have no business delaying these regulations for a day. This is now the business of this House. There are those opposing and those who are supporting. Ultimately, the Question will be put and the Noes and Ayes will have their way. Therefore, it is important that we engage in discussing these issues the way Members have done. I assure my colleagues that my Committee is very certain that any argument to portray the Report as malicious and as meant to fight the Senate is not true. I want to be on record. We value our brothers and sisters in the Senate. I would like to thank all our Members who have managed to give their views on this. Either way, whatever the decision the House will make, we will abide by it. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to thank all my colleagues for the comments they have given."
