    "content": " Order, Members! We have exhausted the number of people who wish to contribute. Before I call upon the Mover to reply, I feel constrained to clarify Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s issue about the tradition of Sittings and why we, as a Senate, removed the morning Sitting. It was not because of lack of business. We decided to do so because of the Bicameral nature of Parliament and a Presidential system where the Committees of the House generate a lot of business. I am happy that most of you are opposed to the Motion on the bases that the Committees already have prepared schedules to transact their businesses. In fact, they have a lot of work. These are some of the traditions that we should not borrow. Even when we are told to consider a tradition or custom, it must be a good one. It must reflect the circumstances of our time. Definitely, the Eleventh Parliament is very different from the other Parliaments because we have two Houses and there is business between them. You must literally generate most of the Business. That was the major consideration of doing so. It was good that time and it is still good now from where I sit."
