    "content": "I have proposed amendments to the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill. I do not know whether they are in the Order Paper because I took them to the Table Office this morning. When I did that, I was advised that they were time-barred. Where then is the time for Hon. Members to propose amendments, if necessary, given that they finished debating the Bill at 7.00 p.m. and it is in the House this morning at 9.00 a.m. for consideration by a Committee of the whole House? It is a Bill that has a lot of contentious issues. Hon. Members indicated that they would propose amendments. Some may say that this Bill has been in the House for some time and that one would have proposed amendments earlier. The truth is that we come and sit in the House when a Bill is being moved. The most important time for a Bill is when the Mover is prosecuting it. You get a lot of information from what he says. You get educated. Other Members make contributions. From that, Members can make up their minds as to whether they want to propose amendments or not. If that time is not allowed, when then do the Members get the time to propose the amendments? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have three amendments on this Bill, but they are not in the Order Paper. Therefore, I propose that you give direction. Just give me time."
