    "content": "This report that accompanied the Bill will be a historic document. I am saying this because there are many people who do not understand what we are saying. People are saying that the role of Parliament is simply ceremonial. I want to repeat here that if the role of Parliament was ceremonial, we would not have taken time and go through three Divisions and three voice votes. I know that in the annals of history, the debates that have taken place in this Senate will form important historical documents. We should not just have it in the HANSARD, but there should be a report of the HANSARD on this debate. Sen. Zawadi, you will be surprised that 20 years from now, when some of us will not be alive, your speech in this debate may be used in order to try and determine what prompted us to pass this Bill because we are the makers of this document unlike what some people think. So, our work and the debates here have not been in vain."
