"content": " Sen. Musila, you have raised an important point. However, the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries will have no problem because I am going to direct that the HANSARD is furnished to the Committee so that it looks at all the issues that have been sought by the other Senator. Therefore, that should not be a problem. Secondly, it is now a practice that Members are allowed to ride on statements sought by others. It is not a bad practice. In my view, it enriches the statement and, therefore, the Committee will take a deeper look into the issues sought. In any event, the committees are open and hon. Senators can give or seek more information. If I were to give my opinion from where I am seated, it is not a bad practice, if it does not take too long or if it is not repetitive because it goes towards enriching the position of the person who sought the statement. I do not think that it dilutes. On the contrary, it strengthens the statement."
