"content": "One of the issues to be resolved should be that if you are in the leadership like I am, you should not be a Chairperson of a Committee. As a general rule, you should not be. It becomes very difficult for a Member in CPAIC to be in three other Committees. That is also raising issues. Unless we want Members to just go to those Committees and log in and out which is not good enough. Finally, Committees are constituted by the House. The Senate Business Committee (SBC) can only give suggestions. We saw the last time when we tried to move the Motion on the Committees as they are in the Standing Orders, not even one Committee was going to go through. They were being shot down one by one. In order to make sure that we are in agreement on this issue, I strongly support the Motion that we adjourn for at least 30 minutes to one hour to have a very candid discussion and we finish this issue about the Committees. I second."
