So, the issue of seniority should not even arise. It is clear in the Constitution that this is the superior House. But that does not mean that we are going to treat the Senate in a derogatory manner. They are our brothers and sisters. In my humble view, the issue that the Leader of the Majority Party has brought to the Floor of the House is one where he should have talked to his colleague in the Senate, so that when issues arise in this House touching on the Senate or vice-versa, they are discussed behind closed doors; not on the Floor of the House and not in the media.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
