    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. We are a House of rules, guided by the law and most importantly precedence. The practice that you set today with the first Committee that we are going to constitute will set the tone for everything. I have it on good authority, from the leadership of the minority side, that in fact, the name of Sen. Ali Roba did not originate from them. We, therefore, do not want to begin on this particular note where the constitution of a basic Committee such as the Senate Business Committee does not follow our Standing Orders. What will we be told, as new Senators, about the Standing Orders, if we disregard them in the manner that we are doing? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a simple exercise. Let us send this exercise back to the originators. Let the names of these Members be communicated in the same manner as how the leadership of this House was done."
