Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request to be heard in silence. We listened to the two gentlemen in silence. My issue is that once a report has been tabled in Senate, every Member should be given an opportunity to discuss either to reject or support it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of standing down a report that has been tabled on the Floor of the House, goes against our standing orders. If you did not have the report, you had enough time to request for it. They are there because they are public documents. It is my prayer that we shall continue debating this report. We have many people who will have an opportunity to debate it. I trust the Committee that was mandated to do this vetting. It is one of the committees that has been praised in this House for doing its work diligently. I go against those who are saying that we should stand down the report. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge you to rule that we continue the debate, so that these people who have been nominated can have a chance to serve the people of this country."
