"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to interrupt the Majority Leader when he was giving his Statement for the upcoming week. However, I got concerned with one statement that we are to debate Bills in this House in the Second Reading without considering the committee reports, yet these reports normally enrich debates. The law requires us, in Article 118 of the Constitution, to consider public participation. I would like to beseech the Majority Leader that I am happy with the 30 days and I think we should stick to that, but in the event that we are debating a Bill without taking into consideration the citizen’s views and debate without their input, we will actually be bypassing and violating the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to disturb his line of thought, but I want him to reconsider that thought because the Second Reading is very important. During the Third Reading, we do not have time to do anything."
