    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I would also like to seek a clarification from the distinguished Chair. New Clause 9A (3) reads:- “If within thirty days of submission of an agreement to the National Assembly, the National Assembly has not forwarded its resolution on the agreement to the Senate, the Senate shall commence its consideration of the agreement and shall forward its resolution to the National Assembly.” I thought that since the delay has occurred it would be assumed--- If the Senate considers and returns it to the National Assembly, and they sit on it indefinitely, then it will not serve the purpose. It would be assumed that since it has already taken 30 days and they have not passed or rejected it, before it comes to the Senate it is concluded. If they have not given any verdict on it, it is assumed that it is positive. Therefore, the Senate receives, processes and returns it as concluded. But if we take it the way it is, they will keep or consider it. I would like that area to be clarified, otherwise, it will be a ping pong situation."
