    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Sir, we took you seriously yesterday when you issued a Communication from the Chair in which several Bills were listed as pending before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. So far, we have made very urgent arrangements to make sure that these Bills are progressed and processed, with emphasis on individual Members’ Bills. I am sure that this is one of those. I have seen the catalogue of those pending Bills. One of them is this one to do with public participation. We recognise the enormity and the importance of that Bill. Public participation is a “wild animal” that everybody else has spoken about. Now that someone is attempting to make a legislative proposal around it, we are very keen to process that. We have expressed our regret that it was not brought as early as the Member would have wished but we can assure him that it will be one of the Bills that will be before the Assembly to process after recess. So, my friend can rest assured that it will be done. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
