    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion. THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 20(2), this House orders that today’s sitting be extended until 8.30 p.m. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start moving this Motion by wishing everyone a happy New Year and congratulating the House for the time that we have put over the last one year, especially in terms of creating additional sitting time whenever we needed to finish the business before us. It is in this spirit that we are asking the House to extend today’s sitting time, so that we can clear as much business as possible and, without anticipating debate on the next Procedural Motion, also seek the indulgence of the House to create extra time, so that we can clear as much business pending before us as possible and take an early break to go and do what we need to do out there or at least clear the entire in-tray that we have. As a House, we still have a lot of pending business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for today, my appeal is that we extend our sitting time by another two hours to clear today’s business and create more time for tomorrow until we feel that we have finished what we need to do, so that we can take a break. For today, if we can agree to the request for extension of our sitting time by two hours, it can help us clear the business before us. With those words, I beg to move and ask the Minister for Finance to second."
