    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is disrespect to the institution of Parliament by the Executive. They want to give us the Exchequer when they feel like. They want to punish us. If we are not facilitated, we will not be able to do our legislative work well. The Constitution is clear that Parliament shall be facilitated. I agree with Sen. Cherarkey that we suspend this sitting, so that you can make phone calls - I know that the Speaker of the National Assembly did the same - and we have answers before we continue transacting. This is disrespect to the Senate and to you, Mr. Speaker, because you are the leader of the third arm of Government. You must be respected. Yesterday I was surprised when I saw a junior Principal Secretary trying to undermine your office. The Speaker has a right to meet any diplomat. Parliament all over the world represents the diplomacy of that country. In fact, this Senate needs an apology from the Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs who made some very serious comments about our Speaker. Our Speaker has every right to meet any dignitary in this world because he is representing an arm of Government. This is a further confirmation of disrespect to this Parliament by the Executive. I fully agree that we need to suspend this sitting the way we did yesterday until our matter is addressed or forever if the matter is not addressed."
