    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we gave an undertaking in the House Business Committee (HBC) that Thursday mornings will be dedicated to Private Members’ Bills and Motions. We also have a small limitation in terms of the court order; that kind of froze in processing of these Bills until we reach some concurrence between ourselves and the Senate. This is a word we do not understand, which has effectively removed all the Private Members’ Bills we would have processed. Last week, we were fortunate to have the Annual State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President. Traditionally, you cannot interrupt the processing of the Address or leave it to later time by giving preference to other business because Members need to take it when it is still hot. Hence, in the HBC, we decided to ask Members to allow the House to take this morning and afternoon and probably Tuesday afternoon to process and give them an opportunity to debate the State of the Nation Address. It is a constitutional requirement that the President must address on the key issues for the House to debate."
