    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am on my way to establish the relevance of my comments on the Motion that is before the House. However, all the same, before I get to detailed discussions on the Motion, I welcome the delegation and ask the young ladies to work hard so that one day, one of them will run this nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, back to the Motion that is before us, I share the views raised by Sen. Sang which you have appropriately guided us on. For such a fundamental issue that was sent for mediation, it would have been proper if the Paper had been laid on the table much earlier so that Members of this House would familiarize themselves with the contents. When we rejected this particular Bill after Second Reading, we rejected it because of some errors of omission by this House.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
