    "content": " On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. It appears, perhaps, that we are debating two different things. The Motion on the Floor is not about extending the publication period. It is about reducing the period of committing the Bill to the Committee. The House already granted the reduction of the publication period last week. I needed to make that correction because we could be discussing and swaying Members to make the wrong decision. We know that CIOC has demonstrated its capacity to do the work. It has already been seized of this matter and can look at it based on the contributions of Members. So, I just wanted to make that correction so that we do not debate the wrong item and make the wrong conclusion. We are debating the reduction of the time that the Bill stays in the Committee from ten days, which is the preferred period, to six days, which we believe is adequate for the Committee to look at it and come up with a Report by the time we get to the Committee Stage. That should not stop the Second Reading from taking place."
