    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to quickly comment on Sen. Hamida’s Statement. This is a challenge given that we are in this House for a short time of just five years. Given the nature of our politics, by the fourth year, people start campaigning. Sometimes it becomes very difficult to rally people to this House to pass some laws. My happiness and pride would be if all Senators could be an authority in an area where they have passed a law. Even if you do not get an opportunity to come back to this House, you can be proud that you passed a law. However, if you are processing these Bills in a very slow manner, in that case, we can never get a chance to process serious laws and become an authority with this wonderful opportunity. My request would be if a Bill is sent to a committee for pre- publication scrutiny, and the Committee neither addresses the Bill nor invites the author of that Bill to come and defend it in 14 days---"
