    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. This House is not being serious. When we are unable to enact a law, we are also unable to extend time. For the last three days, this Motion has been put on the Order Paper and we have been unable to raise the required number. There are no two ways about it. We either extend time or look at the consequences that are contemplated in the Constitution. The failure by CIC, the Law Reform Committee, the Attorney-General and all the institutions which are empowered to bring legislation is not an issue here now. The issue is that time is about to pass. The 27th August is very near and we must extend. This House was a bit full a few minutes ago. We have disappeared again one by one. We need a strategy as a House to see how we can extend time for this Bill. Otherwise, from 3.00 O’clock, we have just been wasting time debating an issue which we know there are no two ways about it. We must extend time, but how do we do it? We are just disappearing from the House. The leaders of the House must get together and see how we can whip everybody to be here in the next session, so that we can extend time for this Bill. I beg to support the Motion."
