We have also purposed, as leadership, to look at Members' attendance in the Chamber. We have a challenge. The Hon. Speaker often takes his seat and waits for Members for up to 10 minutes to find their way to the Chamber at 2.30 p.m. and yet, we all know that the House begins at 2.30 p.m. Therefore, your participation in the Chamber, committees and how actively you participate…. Chairpersons have indicated that there are Members who appear in committees, sign and exit. That is not participation but attendance. Therefore, we are evaluating your active participation in committees since we are almost halfway through our parliamentary term. We will evaluate who keenly participates in the Committee they are nominated to. When the term of this House began in 2022, many Members came to the leadership asking to be placed in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Departmental Committees on Finance and National Planning and Transport and Infrastructure, and the Members' Services and Facilities Committee.
