    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like us to adopt a culture that is akin to the US Congress where, when there is an important debate before the House, Members can be allowed to talk. Even if a few Members remain in the House, they continue to talk until they finish. I watch CNN where there are important issues before Congress. They are not worried about a quorum provided somebody is speaking. They know that there are monitors all over and when a Member wants to come in and contribute, he can do so. That is why we have modern technology. So, on issues that we have been dealing with today, consultations until consensus is reached is extremely important. Confidence building is fundamental. The breeding of anxiety so that fear reigns in the House should be banished from the culture of this House."
