"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance on how we can amend this Motion; is it formally in writing or can I make an oral amendment? I can proceed to make some amendments. I do agree that the Mover should be given more time because 15 minutes is too short. Of course, I take into account that he has 10 minutes at the end of the day to respond. But he is the one responsible for explaining what he is moving and, therefore, he should be given more time to explain that. If half an hour is going to be too long, then 20 minutes will suffice I think within the two-hour period. So, I will move that we delete the words “fifteen minutes” in the first line and substitute thereof “twenty minutes.” I think 20 minutes is sufficient for the Mover. The Mover has to be precise and to the point. We do not want him to be too wordy and say irrelevant things. So, 20 minutes for the Mover is okay; 15 minutes for the two leaders is okay; ten minutes for every Senator is okay. All this should be in a maximum of two-and- a-half hours. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move as follows:- Delete “two” in the first line and substitute thereof “three;” in the same first line, delete “fifteen” and substitute thereof “twenty” and then you leave the rest as it is. So, it will read as follows:- 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."
