    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the amendment for two key reasons. This House should never act in vain. What the Mover of the Motion is asking is for us to refer a report prepared by a technical taskforce that had the opportunity to go to the ground to investigate facts and make a report. The Committee will not have time because we are being asked for seven days, to verify the facts that are already investigated by this taskforce. So, the House will, therefore, be wasting time if it refers this matter to a Committee because it is not necessary to refer it to the Committee. The issues raised in the report are clear; we refer matters that are not clear to Committees. There is nothing unclear on this report. The recommendations of this report are enumerated here very specifically; no hon. Member is raising any issue against the recommendations. So, I do not see any purpose for referring this report to the Committee other than wasting the time of the House and also wasting the time of the Government to implement this extremely important report for this nation. For those reasons, I strongly oppose the reference of this matter to the Committee."
