"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, many good points have been advanced in support of this Motion, including the fact that we want to take Parliament to the people. Many of us have talked about getting Members of Parliament to know the geography of this country and appreciate the cultural diversity. However, I would like us to be a bit realistic. If you look at the current Parliament, you will realise that we have problems when all the 222 hon. Members attend. We are always squeezed and Parliament needs to be expanded. To say the least, if we have eight regions, for example, how will we have eight Parliaments built and funded by taxpayersâ money in order to realise the intention of this Motion? The Motion could be good, but the timing is wrong. Our country faces many problems at the moment. We cannot even finance the Budget."
