    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. Some members of this House have not been taking the business of this House seriously. Now, we are being told to sacrifice our mornings in order to catch up because people failed to participate in the proceedings of this House for which they have been elected to do. Every day, in the afternoon we are here. We are unable to execute decisions such as voting for Bills and issues regarding the Committee of the Whole due to lack of quorum. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about leadership of this House. There is no institution which can operate if the leadership of that institution does not take the business of that institution seriously. The leadership of this House with due respect, I am not referring to the Speaker’s office, but the leadership. I am talking about the people who sit on these chairs and not being available - In fact, particularly on my side - not being available most of the time to execute the business of the House."
