    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for the opportunity. I rise to support the Motion. Ordinarily, a report of a committee is of national significance. It is, therefore, important that Members are given sufficient time to debate it. I have absolutely no problem with the order in which submissions are supposed to be made by parties. However, my main concern, which I would like to point out at this stage, is that at times we tend to think that there are two chambers – one to the right and another one on the left of hon. Speaker. As I contribute to this Motion, I sincerely urge the Speaker and all those who have the opportunity of sitting in that very important Chair to sometimes look at this side, where we sit, so that we also get opportunity to contribute. I also wish to commend all the previous committee chairpersons who have been embracing the concept of donation of time to hon. Members. It is the desire of each and every Member of this House to contribute to debate. So, I would like to urge hon. Members who get opportunity but who are not able to exhaust their time to be considerate enough and donate it to other Members who would wish to participate in debate. With those very few remarks, I beg to support the Motion."
