    "content": "Madam Temporary Chairperson, those are some of the issues that have been raised through the proposed amendments. Other than that, there is Regulation 10 on the sitting arrangements, which has caused us a lot of problems since the last general elections. We have so many leaders now, and now that we are creating, reorganizing and recognizing heroes through a law and through regulations, we want to transfer that honour into the way we treat heroes and the people who carry national honours when they attend public functions. It does not help to call or to confer somebody with the Moran of the Golden Heart (MGH) or Distinguished Service Medal (DSM), but when they attend a public function, whether at the national or county forum, that recognition is not appreciated. It defeats the whole purpose of conferring national honours. Madam Temporary Chairperson, there is also a suggestion recommended there under Regulation 14 on how one may lose national honours. Regulation 14 is providing for the reporting of the loss of national honours to the Advisory Committee. The loss of national honour shall be reported to the respective nominating Advisory Committee. If it is a member of the Legislature who has lost a national honour under the grounds which are specified, then that should be reported so that there is a bit of inquiry and it is noted. A replacement may even be done. Madam Temporary Chairperson, Sir, without wasting a lot of time because hon. Senators have had occasion to look at those amendments, I beg to move that these amendments be now approved by this House. I request the Senate Majority Whip to second. Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson."
