In this regard, the sittings of the House this morning and afternoon are properly convened. Hon. Members, with respect to the two Bills scheduled for Committee of the whole House, I have been notified that the Clerk’s Office received proposed amendments from several Members last evening and others today morning, part of which ought to be brought to the attention of the respective committees for their input pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 131. In this regard, I request the Leader of the Majority Party to confer with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security with a view to charting a way forward before the said business is reached during the Afternoon Sitting. Having said that, may I remind the Hon. Members that today’s Sittings have come at a time when the country is witnessing a spike in the number of cases of COVID-19 Pandemic infections as, indeed, stated by the Ministry of Health. In this regard, I urge Members to strictly adhere to the Ministry of Health’s protocols issued for prevention of the pandemic. In particular, Hon. Members are advised to observe social distance while in the Chamber and in the other facilities, strictly sit only in the designated places in the Chamber and avoid changing seats or having close physical interactions. May I once again remind the House that, as leaders, we have a duty to contribute to the concerted efforts of flattening the curve of the COVID-19 Pandemic infections in the country. The House is accordingly guided. I thank you."
