    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I want to address myself to the issue of transitional arrangements. It is, indeed, very positive that provisions have been made for transitional arrangements under the Bill. It will not take effect under the life of this Parliament. For me, one of the reasons is that, actually, this Parliament is a unique one because it is a Coalition Parliament and, therefore, the arrangement under this Parliament is very different from any normal Parliament. That is actually one of the reasons why the issue of collective responsibility becomes a challenge. Why? It is because we amended the Constitution by annexure and provided for consultation between the President and the Prime Minister. Within that sort of arrangement, it becomes very difficult to effect some of the provisions of this Bill. But it will be easy to effect those provisions once we go back to a proper choice of Government that is not the current Government; either a Parliamentary or Presidential system of Government. With those few remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
