    "content": "Hon. Speaker, that limited public participation will be the opportunity for the promoters to engage with the committees for a fuller and better understanding of the document. It is also the opportunity where the promoters will also engage with the committees not just on the constitutional amendments, but the entire proposals in the BBI Report, some of which require statutory Bills and statutory amendments in which case even as we are considering the constitutional amendment Bill, then we would have the opportunity to initiate the processes that are necessary to enact those other Bills. In terms of timelines, I welcome and thank you for your directions in terms of the date by which the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee must report back to this House. It is my understanding that the meat of the debate will be on that report. I think it is important that as the House Business Committee considers the proposal in terms of limitation of timelines, I would urge them to have such consideration noting that it would be important for us as a House not to detain this process. It would be really important that we get over and transmit the document to the IEBC before the end of March, so that the IEBC can set appropriate dates for the referendum. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I affirm and support this Motion. Thank you."
