I rise in support of this Motion to alter the calendar of the Senate for the Fifth Session. In supporting, I would like to request that we consider those of us who are above 58 years - and we are the majority in this House - so that we do a hybrid system of our session. This way we can have Members who have been left out for a long time participating in the sessions by having a digital version of the Zoom and the physical meetings so that they are not left out of the proceedings. In addition, I would also like to request the Ministry of Health that in their public awareness campaigns they include vaccination as a measure of preventing COVID-19 in addition to washing hands, sanitising, wearing masks and keeping social distance. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
