    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are very much alive to those concerns of hon. Members and we want to give adequate time for involvement of the entire House. Indeed, without anticipating debate, the Motion we will be bringing immediately after this would be to shorten the publication period so that the Bills can find their way into the Committee. I am aware that the Committees have planned some retreats this weekend to start looking at these Bills and hence fast tracking their own work and report. So in anticipation that the Committees will work this weekend and will probably prepare their reports, then we would want to give hon. Members the opportunity also to start the discussions and contributions so that the Committees’ reports will be far more enriched by hon. Members’ contributions and by the time we reach the Committee Stage, certainly some time before 27th August, then we will have had the advantage of stakeholders’ consultations, the Committees themselves and contributions by Members of this House because the Bills are quite important and they relate to our own security. So, there is no intention of curtailing debate or curtailing participation. All we want is to maximize the participation of the Committees before we then come to the final amendments or discussions at the Third Reading."
