    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you. I also rise to support the Motion that is on the Floor to the effect that we alter our Calendar so that we adjourn from the 30th March, 2021, and resume our sittings on 11th May, 2021. First, I begin by trying to understand that what His Excellency the President did was to request and persuade Parliament to assist him in putting in place measures that can assist in stopping the transmission of COVID-19 pandemic. I do not think he was in any way trying to direct Parliament on how to conduct its business. Madam Deputy Speaker, the main reason why we want to adjourn our sittings is simply because we want to assist in stopping the transmission of COVID-19 pandemic. We are also trying to heed the warning that science is telling us. The scientists say that the more your physical interactions, the more the risk of exposing yourself to contracting the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). It is that simple. We can choose to listen to science, or we can choose to ignore what science is telling us."
