    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are very excited that as soon as this Bill goes through the First Reading, we will have an opportunity, if Order No.8 goes through, to deal with the Bill. We have other Bills which have gone through the First Reading and never come for the Second Reading. I have in mind the Bill by Sen. Sang and the Bill by myself. I think that when we read in the media that the Lower House has done more Bills than the Upper House, where the real custodian of ideas are, it gives the impression that we are sitting on the job. The excuse given that they want to give the Committee an opportunity to look at the Bill before it goes for Second Reading cannot hold. This is because under the new laws, we have the pre-publication scrutiny which goes to the Committee. So, that was intended, in my view, to shorten the period of moving from the Second Reading to the Third Reading, after the Committee has put in its input. So, maybe, as you make a decision, you could comment on my concerns."
