    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do support the Motion, I am a bit worried about the precedent that is being set on appointment of Sessional Committees. Indeed, the beginning of this term has seen appointment of Committees as they were in the last Session. The necessity of actually having new committees is to inject new minds, may be somehow alleviate and improve on performance. I am personally concerned with what we have had before in the performance of the Committee on Implementation. I really do not know what they have done with regard to the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this was to me an opportunity where new minds would have been injected to these committees not necessarily by denying the Members to be Members of Sessional Committees but shuffling up the Members of the four committees and having new minds in those committees. For lack of a proper English word, I would say the leadership of the Minority and the Majority Leaders were “lazy”. I do not know which other word I could have used. I lack a proper word but I think that is the most sensible word to use here. These are Members of this House and they have shown their abilities in other places. I wish them well. I support."
