    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that the Leader of Government Business has two roles: He is the Chair of the House Business Committee, which is supposed to prioritise the various issues that are supposed to come to the House; but he is also the Leader of Government Business in Parliament. Based on those roles, on any Government activities, including even those which have not come to Parliament, the Leader of Government Business has a responsibility. I was just asking because it appears that the Leader of Government Business is trying to evade this Question by addressing only those issues which have been processed. He can liaise with even the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, so that when he comes here on Thursday, he can give a total overview. He is aware of the Bills which are supposed to be passed within 12 months and those which are supposed to be passed a little later. So, what I am asking for is an overview of all the Bills which are supposed to be presented to this House urgently. I would like the Leader of Government Business to address all of them on Thursday and give this country a brief on progress made, because the country is anxious. There is talk out there, condemning Parliament. People are saying that Members of Parliament are not doing their work, and yet Members of Parliament cannot originate these Bills."
