    "content": "Hon. Members, as the Session winds up and the House proceeds on recess, I wish to remind Members of the fate of the various businesses that are currently before the House and the Committees. This is specifically with regard to Bills which ought to have certain stages concluded before the end of two Sessions, and petitions which have a given timeline pursuant to the Standing Orders. Conscious of the fact that the proceedings of the House and its Committees were disrupted during this Session by the unforeseen recess periods and reduced number of sitting days in an effort to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, the House Business Committee has proposed a Motion which is in today’s Order Paper for consideration by the House. This is to enable the continuation of the said business in the next Session pursuant to provisions of the Standing Orders. However, Questions, Motions and Statements are traditionally sessional and will, therefore, lapse at the end of the current Session. Any Member wishing to revive them at the beginning of the next Session is welcome to do so. In conclusion, as you proceed to spend valuable time with your families during the holiday season and also attend to your constituents, I take this opportunity to wish you all, along with the staff of Parliament, a happy and restful festive season and a prosperous New Year 2021. Remember to stay safe. I thank you."
