    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, if, indeed, he won three times, he would have been the Chair. But we spent three weeks not doing useful work because of his unending desire to pursue that office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by saying that one of the challenges that we have seen in the past is the need to balance the desire to call the Executive to answer and give them time to deal with policy matters and execution of their work. I think that there is need to do a balance of that, because we have been reading also that some of the Committees, not particularly this House, spend quite a bit of time--- We want to focus particularly on our work to ensure that the Government is held to account with regard to their responsibility. So far, I know that none of the Committees in this House has been accused on questions of integrity. We have had questions in the past where some Committees announce that they are going to do this and that, but in the last minute, you do not realize anything. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the other hon. Senators who have been nominated to various Committees and hope that we will be able to carry out our work successfully."
