    "content": "in today’s Order Paper that there is business that was not listed in his Statement of last week. I do not know why the business which is Order No.13 was not mentioned. This is a Bill that is quite heavy and that has very many issues that I am sure very many Members would also have wanted to participate in. Considering that there is even mention of a special sitting, that is what aroused my attention. It is the fact that this Order No.13 has just come into the Order Paper and was not there when the Leader of the Majority Party communicated to the House the business that would be coming this week. I was just wondering how it has found its way into the Order Paper of today, being the last day of this Session. If we are to embark on recess today, Hon. Speaker, and maybe the urgent business becomes either a continuation of this business or going into the Third Reading of this business, many of us have issues that we would want to bring amendments on. Therefore, I felt it may not be fair to subject us to getting into this Order today, being the very last day of the year. This is business that, maybe, the Leader of the Majority Party could have considered, if not during the next Session, if he finds it urgent, to give us notice during that special sitting, so that we are able to prepare ourselves more and even for those who would be interested in having amendments to be able to bring our amendments in good time. Thank you for your indulgence."
