    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the debate on the Presidential Speech is founded in our Standing Orders and traditions in the House. In fact, in the Lower House, we used to allocate time of ten minutes per hon. Member. I think that this is now informed by the fact that all Senators are senior and experienced, with a lot of things to say about the content of the Speech, hence the allocation of 15 minutes per Member. Being a reasonably sized House as we are, I think that the three days allocated will afford each and every Member who wishes to speak an opportunity to side or not side with the content of the Speech. I remember in the last Parliament when we used to allocate ten minutes and one Member would just stand up and say: “The Speech of the President was very sweet. I support it.” I am sure that we will veer away from that sycophantic talk and engage in talking intelligently about the exposition of policy or lack of it in the President’s Speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
