    "content": " What we had agreed on was that we proceed on the two Motions, debate them at the plenary stage and then we made a proviso that if the Report of the Committee is ready, then, maybe, we could do the Committee Stage later. The reason being that whatever we do, we must take it back to the originating House which is the National Assembly. But since now you have expressed desire, and maybe the time we have today is not sufficient for you to prosecute the matter, then we will go by the second option which had already provided that we can do the plenary today and then tomorrow, we will do the Committee. That allows you to read the Report of the Committee, but also the Chair in moving, I am sure will raise a number of issues that by your presence here, you will benefit from them. There is a sense in which this matter must be disposed very quickly. In terms of the Regulations, if you look at the Motion, they were laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 27th November, and that was last Wednesday. So, really, you have had a number of days to look at the regulations and form some opinion. You cannot argue that they came one hour ago. It is only the Report of the Committee that has been delayed. So, you have a substantive bit. It is only the thinking of the Committee that may be you need and I think that one you can have for the remainder of the day so that tomorrow morning, we do the Committee Stage. It is so ordered!"
