    "content": "I congratulate the Speaker for this Communication. I think all of us, including myself, went into comfort zones and enjoyed the fact that we could conduct business while seated in our offices. In the next two or three months that are left, we should all make a commitment that we can attend the Chamber. During the last session - for those who were here for the first time - we had The Division of Revenue Bill around this time and some of the Members who ended up on the mediation table had lost their nominations. Therefore, let us take all this positively. We do not know what is going to happen, but we have got business to run. I think it is high time we all came back here. The Senate Majority Leader, please, look for controversial things for us to do. We need to get back to our old selves, where we used to debate in this Chamber now that COVID-19 is behind us. Let us not beat ourselves to death too much; COVID-19 actually, affected this Chamber. The fact that the COVID-19 infections have gone down is something, I think we should celebrate, that it did not affect us as much as it affected other parliaments or countries, where they lost so many members during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you Speaker, for your leadership during this time. You managed us virtually and physically, and we are still here. We should support the Senate Business Committee (SBC) Members. We do not have a lot of business pending and I think in the short time that we have, we can complete whatever it is that we must do. We cannot do everything, but there are a few things that we can finish quickly. I thank you."
