    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas it is obvious to appreciate the point by Sen. Billow Kerrow, I am of the strong view that the Constitution requires Bills coming from whatever source, in this case principally from the Government to the Executive, to pass through a caucus of both Speakers. This is what is not happening. A decision should be made as to what Bills must specifically come to the Senate, which ones must go to the National Assembly and which ones must go to both Houses. With all due respect, our Senate Majority Leader is the correct person to follow. If that is not happening, the Executive will continue to operate as they do and address the Bills, from whichever department, to the National Assembly. If they do so, there will be a gap. I request that a direction comes from the Chair so that we know where the gap is. We all need to clear the air and if the Majority Leader expects to be given these Bills by the Executive to table here, what route should we take?"
