    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 20(2), this House orders that today’s sitting be extended until 8.30 p.m. The rationale for this is simple. We have a lot of business to transact, and, in line with the decision of the House Business Committee and the request by Members of this House that we create enough time to clear as much business as possible during the time we have, we are asking the Members of the House to agree that we extend the sitting by an extra two hours, so that we can clear at most whatever is on the Order Paper. If we do the same tomorrow and the next day, we hope we will really have caught up on all the lost time. That way, we will leave this House as the transformative House that it is; we will have cleared most of the Bills. It is a record that no other House has set before; we still have capacity between now and when we will adjourn to do more. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very straight foward matter. We did it last week and I want to thank hon. Members for doing that and for staying behind. I do hope that we will do the same today and tomorrow. When we meet in the House Business Committee, we might even have to recommend some extra sittings to clear as much business as we can, given the capacity of hon. Members to respond to these challenges. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and ask the Minister for Finance to second."
