    "content": "How many times will we talk about miscellaneous law amendments? We have spoken about it. In the other Parliament, the environment was a little sour but we have agreed on many things in this Parliament including the fact that if there are issues which demand substantive legislation, they must be introduced as stand-alone Bills or amendment Bills to be considered on their own merit. I have been with the Leader of the Majority Party in several forums and he agrees that you cannot bring fundamental issues and call them miscellaneous amendments. He knows that. I do not know at what point there is a disconnect between this House and those other people sitting in palatial offices. I am sure they are not taking instructions from the Leader of the Majority Party. If they were, he would have told them that this is not how legislation is done. Let them give him small things which merely cure the gaps or lacuna in law but not weighty issues such as this."
