"content": " Order! These are the orders available for the day; and not all of them will have business each and every day. And on this particular one, the Standing Orders have provided; there are still statements that can be made today and those are the ones referred to in Standing Order No.42. It is only that your kind of Statement falls under Standing Order No.43, which spells that you can make them only on Thursdays. Just like the Statement by the Senate Majority Leader on behalf of the Rules and Business Committee on the business for the following week that can only be made on Thursday. Now, that does not mean that we should just be changing the Order Paper. You know the orders are always there and, so, it would look ugly if, one day, we remove Statements. The next Order is Order No.8 and between Orders Nos.6 and 8, there is Order No.7, which is Statements. So, to avoid that kind of situation, we just keep all of them because we are guided by the Constitution, our Standing Orders and our practice; and Senators are expected to know. For today, if you had a Statement of a general nature, you could still have done it under the same Standing Order. What is it, Sen. Musila?
