    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also make my comments on the Motion on proposed amendments to the Standing Orders of the Senate. The Standing Order No.267 provides that the committee’s procedure and rules may at any time propose amendments to the Standing Orders. This was important because we are living in a changing world and scenarios. We may have situations where we need to change our Standing Orders to align with the current realities we face as a House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I fully support the amendment so that this House has an opportunity to debate and make resolutions on petitions because a petition is a very important legislative tool. The practice in this House has been that once a petition is committed to a committee, the committee makes a report, tables it, and it ends there. This amendment will allow this House to have an opportunity to debate the report of the committee and approve the resolutions proposed therein. This is important because some petitions contain very weighty matters that should be met as a House collectively. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
