    "content": " Hon. Senators, limiting debate normally happens before any of the Senators stands to contribute or speak on a Bill. However, we are faced with a very peculiar situation where we may allow Senators to speak for the 20 minutes as given to them by the Standing Orders. However, if we go that route and conclude beyond Thursday, then whatever product will come up with may not inform the debate on the other side. As the Senate Majority Leader has said, they are proceeding to engage on the budget and the decision here must be carried by the National Assembly as they do the budget. Alternatively, we limit the time of debate, through consensus, so that we allow as many as of those who would wish to speak to this Bill speak, so that we move time. If we have to be late, then we conclude this debate by Thursday. That is the very latest. Hon. Senators, can I first seek your concurrence to limit debate? To what extent can we limit the debate going forward? There are five minutes and 10 minutes."
