    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you have expanded this further and allowed the Chairpersons of the various Committees to provide that report to the Senate. Would I be in order if I request you, for further emphasis--- Occasionally, Committee Chairpersons give updates to the House. The next update period will be in the next two or three weeks. Before giving any other report, the Chairpersons that you have listed for Committee on Education; Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Right; Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration et cetera, to lay on the Table of the Senate their findings on these issues that they were charged. That is a report that will be tabled back to us, as a House, because it is the entire plenary that requested these Committees to undertake this exercise. We can then report back to the country and give explanation of what we have done since we spoke at that particular time. There are very weighty issues that are being raised, for example, on public debt and merging of parastatals. We expect the Committee on Finance and Budget to lead us by way of legislation to commence some of those exercises. The humble request that I make to you is to not just report, but also lay in the presence of the Senate a documented report of what they would have achieved at that particular time that you will allocate. I would really appreciate if that can be done before we break for the long recess. I thank you."
