    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to reply. From the outset, I wish to thank all the Senators who have made their contribution towards this Motion. I believe we will have the opportunity to move some of the amendments in the Committee Stage like what Sen. Kerrow has mentioned. Once you are an elected Member of Parliament (MP), there should be automatic qualification so that there is harmony in the provision of all these honours being granted to hon. Members. Therefore, I will propose to Sen. Kerrow and others that we can make amendments so that the Parliamentary Honours Advisory Committee can also take into consideration all these factors, so that if we use the pecking order which we passed the other day, that can be a stepping stone so that we will know who will get what and at what level. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having this Motion is a step forward than having nothing. So, for those of us who have medals, I remember in the last Parliament that we had to complain; we had to beg and say “why are the elected MPs being ignored in being given the Moran of the Golden Heart (MGH)?” We do not want that to continue. So, I believe this is a step forward. The regulations which we are going to pass here will be followed next year when honouring people. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move."
