    "content": " Thank you very much Madam Temporary Speaker. I am sorry about that. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 52(1), I hereby present to the Senate, the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 28th July, 2020. On Tuesday, 28th July, 2020, the Senate Business Committee (SBC) will meet to schedule the business of the Senate. On that day, 28th July, 2020, the Senate will consider Bills scheduled for Second Reading and those at the Committee of the Whole stage. The Senate will also continue with the consideration of business that will not be included in today’s Order Paper in addition to Motions, Petitions and Statements. Madam Temporary Speaker, I had mentioned in my Statement last week that Bills that are due for Second Reading are 19 while another 20 Bills are at the Committee of the Whole stage, including those in the Order Paper for today. The SBC will prioritize these Bills accordingly. In respect of this, I continue to urge the relevant standing committees to use the available opportunities on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and even Fridays and various electronic virtual means of holding committee meetings to expeditiously conclude consideration of these Bills and table reports pursuant to the Standing Orders. Individual Senators who may have amendments to Bills are encouraged to file the same in good time to allow the SBC to schedule the Bills. Before I conclude, I also wish to draw the attention of the House to 57 Petitions pending before respective standing committees. I urge the standing committees to expeditiously conclude with the Petitions and to table the reports pursuant to Standing Order No. 232(2). I hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the House. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
