    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I understand that. I was just making it clear that we do not have a pure presidential system. But I had already moved to another point. You are the one who brought me back to this. Now, the point I had moved to is on the implementation. In this Parliament, unless we have the Cabinet Secretaries sitting here, Motions will never be implemented. That is because those Cabinet Secretaries do not come here to agree with the Motions we are moving. Because they do not agree and even propose amendments like we used to do, they will find it very difficult. In fact, most Motions which were passed in this House have never been implemented. So, I am sure if the Chair of the Committee on Implementation wants to be effective in this country or Parliament and be useful to this Parliament, she should concentrate more on the legislation because, sometimes, Cabinet Secretaries refuse the legislation that has been passed and are reluctant to implement it. You can follow up those ones easily but on Motions, until we change and find a way of interacting with the Cabinet Secretaries and getting their commitments on the Floor here when we pass them, I am very sure that the process of implementation is going to be an uphill task if not impossible."
