"content": "in the First Reading are very important. However, in future, it will be important to allow us to transact our Business. Secondly, I also want to plead with the HBC. If you look at last Wednesday's Order Paper, a Bill which I am sponsoring was the immediate Bill after Hon. Pukose's. My Bill, which is No. 5 of 2022, has now been pushed about three levels behind. I want the HBC to be fair to Members. It is unfortunate to see your Bill, which has been waiting for a long time, suddenly being pushed very far from where it was. What worries me most, Hon. Members, is that the Bill I am supposed to be moving is a Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill, which touches on your issues. We push our issues to the back and bring other issues. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to bring this to the attention of the HBC. They should also be consistent in how they schedule these Bills. Otherwise, I was very prepared last week, and unfortunately, I do not see myself moving the Bill today. It might be moved to next year. Which means I may have to do another research next year. Leader of the Majority Party, you must be fair to us. We are also ageing. I do not want to be ready, and then you push me back to reading again after I have already done my research. Hon. Deputy Speaker, today I will understand but, in the future, please, consider the way Bills are presented to the House. I think it will help us. With those many remarks, I support."
