"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with benefit of hindsight; in the National Assembly before Parliament became bicameral, what is today Statements in the Senate, was Question Time in the National Assembly. We developed a culture of Members riding on Statements because the answer will not be brought by the Minister. It will be brought by the Chairman of the Committee. So, Senators in anticipation of possible supplementary questions, would then ride on the Statement. When the Committee now presents what transpired here, it includes the questions that rode over that Statement. With that, the answer is comprehensive. I have been sitting here for the last few weeks when I rejoined this House and it looks like what concerns the Chair is time. Why are you worried that you will not finish the Statements on the Order Paper?"
