    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just wanted to say that, really, asking someone to quit politics is unconstitutional. I have even heard hon. Members asking that we incorporate into this Bill Members of Parliament who have served just one term. If that is the case, Clause 3 will work against all of us. I do not think that anyone would want to be told to quit politics to get their benefits, especially Members of Parliament. We should live to the spirit of the second stanza of our prayer. I think we have taken this prayer just like a poem. This prayer has a meaning. The second paragraph says:- “Let your blessings descend upon us hereby assembled, and grant that we treat and consider all matters that shall come under our deliberation in so just and faithful a manner as to promote your honour and glory and to advance the peace, prosperity and welfare of our country and of those whose interests you have committed to our charge.”"
