    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we apply Standing Order No.45(2)(c), the Senate Minority Leader will then be issuing a statement on behalf of the Rules and Business Committee (RBC) and not on behalf of the Government. It is RBC that designs the business of the House and the statement that comes is to inform the House, the business that comes the following week. So, that does not apply. However, it will definitely look odd and an anomaly for me as the leader of the opposition side, notwithstanding my membership to Committees --- I have even declined in Committees to chair the Committee in the absence of the Chairperson or the Vice Chairperson, for any other Member to chair. I lead the alternative Government in this House. I cannot possibly stand up and speak and justify some of the things that we hear on the Floor, especially when we know that Government is constantly in breach of the rule of freedom of information and very economical with the truth on many matters."
