    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to oppose the amendment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I oppose the amendment because I believe that the Motion itself has been brought in absolute good faith. I also believe that the amendment has been brought in absolute good faith. But it is my opinion that as we debate, we also need to look at the end result. What do we want to get from the Motion? Like you have rightly said, we are the Upper House and, hence, as we debate the Motion, we also need to project and see where we want to rest the case. So, if it will form the basis of a complaint, then it should be something that we can deal with. Madam Temporary Speaker, by making an amendment that will draw back the timeline up to 1895, we are bound to also discuss and bring up issues and facts that cannot be substantiated or supported even by documents. For example, if I come and make an allegation or contribution, which is just my word against history, that this happened to a particular group, me or certain community in 1897, there is no way that anyone of us in this Chamber today or even our grandfathers can attest to the truth. There The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
