"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for my Senate Majority Whip, but as has been the custom here, I feel that if the Chairperson has not delegated such powers to you to respond on his behalf, it will be unfair. This is because Sen. Abass has been in this Chamber and if he wanted any of us to respond on his behalf, obviously he would have delegated. Number two, even though I know that the Majority Whip knows that we are under pressure to conclude some of these businesses, ultimately, I know this Motion will require that we vote. Maybe, we may not even have the requisite delegations to vote ultimately. However much we want to fast-track this particular business, at some point I think we will be stuck. I think I agree with the ruling you have made that you allow Sen. Abass to come and reply when he is back in the Chamber."
