    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader. It is a very interesting answer. First, this House has a leadership that comprises the Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leader and others. I want to remind Members of this House that there was a statement issued by the Senate Majority Leader here a few months ago before we went on recess that there were discussions with the Attorney-General and other people in the Executive. This was the reason why I targeted this Question to the Senate Majority Leader because there was an undertaking here and the HANSARD can bear us out. However, my statement specifically is not about the concurrence because that level is already gone with respect to this Bill. The Bill has already been concluded and it is going to the President. Could the Senate Majority Leader representing the Government in this House undertake to make sure that the President does not assent to this Bill? If it comes to him, he will refer it back to this House in accordance with the Constitution, because he undertook to abide by the Constitution. I appreciate the concern of the Senate Majority Leader that he will get to the President as soon as possible. However, I want him to assure the House that he is really going to do that in writing and we will get that Bill here. Thank you."
