    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me comment very briefly because I will not go into the substance of the Motion itself but as to whether the Motion in the House right now should go back to the RBC. The dignity of this House is so important that it is supreme over and above our parties. Let us agree to that first. This is because parties will come and go but the Senate will stay. I think that Sen. Murkomen has been generous in his proposal, that we take this Motion back to the Committee so that they can reconsider. There is nothing wrong with reconsidering a position. It is not a position of weakness but that of strength to say to yourself that; maybe, I did not consider a, b, c and d which is something that we should consider. This House is held very highly in this country. For us to proceed and have a debate which we can see very clearly is one sided on this particular issue and has also become partisan, the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) will vote one way and the Jubilee one way. This is not how we have been known to proceed in this country. We have been known to be people of substance and maturity in order to reach a bipartisan position, without alienating the same Committee that we will be relying on to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
