    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “within four sitting days or, when on recess, within seven calendar days” immediately after the words “mediation committee”; (b) by deleting sub-clause (4) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause— “(4) The Chairperson of the mediation committee shall be appointed from the members of the House that rejected the Bill and the Vice-Chairperson shall be appointed from the members of the House that originated the Bill.” The import of the amendment, as it is in the parent Bill, sub-clause 2 does not provide any timing as to when, either the Speaker of either House can appoint the members of the mediation committee. It is left open-ended. I am, therefore, proposing that to make it neat and make the process progress as soon as possible after a communication is made by the Speaker, within four sitting days or when in recess, or within seven calendar days and immediately after the words \"mediation committee\"… This is essentially to put some timelines so that we do not leave the matter in abeyance inordinately too long."
