    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I listened to Sen. Dullo when she was moving these amendments. Every Senator who walks into this House and takes the oath is entitled to participate fully in its activities. Irrespective of the external and party politics, every Senator who walks into this House, especially those elected by delegation, should participate in Committees and contribute. This amendment is helping us achieve that goal. This is what we want. We should not have rules that limit the participation of elected Senators, people who have come here by the voice and vote of the people. Irrespective of whatever politics are happening outside, this amendment gives the power to allow full participation of Members in various Committees. This is a beautiful amendment, the kind that helps us move forward rather than backward. It is opening doors for us as a House to benefit from the wisdom of those colleagues who are elected and, for whatever reason, could be having issues with their arrangement of politics outside the House. I rise to fully support that amendment and ask all Members to support it."
