    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is the objective here? I think it is an issue of the transition between all the new rules, the calendar and, for the first time, Parliament sat in January for quite some time. So, it is this whole issue that has caused the fact that we do not have much legislative work for Parliament. Therefore, the few that I have drafted, just debate them. But the most important thing, really, as far as I know, especially on this one, is that there should be enough time for the Departmental Committee to look into it and come up with appropriate amendments during the Committee Stage, particularly on this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, which I know has so many legislations. My view, really, was that we should have time to read and so on. But we should also be usefully engaged and I am glad that we are usefully engaged. The comments that are coming out of this debate will be possessed by the Departmental Committee. We shall discuss them and during the Committee Stage, we shall be able to deal with it."
