    "content": "I thank the Members for their contributions. There are some issues that I really want to clarify. One of them is that Members have a perception that this is the first Report we have tabled. In fact, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have tabled more than ten reports - 12 to be exact. We had one we did in 2018 like this one. We have other several important ones like the one touching on the sugar industry and several others. Unfortunately, we do not control the Calendar of the House and debates brought on the Floor of the House. In fact, we had to write to the House Business Committee to protest for us to be given this opportunity. So, I am happy today that the Leader of the Majority Party has actually confessed that we are not to blame for the delay in tabling and debating of the reports. I would like to request the House, because it has said it will support our Committee, that we be given an opportunity, at least, every fortnight to brief the House on the implementation of several laws, motions and everything else. Why am I saying this? Members have also said that the Government or the Executive has not been implementing the resolutions of this House. If that was the case, then this country would not be functioning. Whereas there may be two or three issues that have not been sorted out by the Government, hundreds of them have actually been implemented. We would not have a Government or anything if they would not have been implemented. So, I would like to advise the House that it is not that the Government or the Executive has not implemented anything. Let us also appreciate that they have actually implemented a lot."
