    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the only thing is that we come from the same region with those who are shouting at me. Otherwise, I would have taken them up. They are forgiven. I was saying that the Senate has already passed the mediated version of this Report. We must have a lot of respect for both Houses of Parliament. When the Bills come here, they will go through the due process. We are not passing the Bills but adopting the Report, so that we can consider the Bills that will come thereafter. People need to understand the legislative processes. I am saying this as a lawyer. Even if we pass this Report as it is, we will not have passed the Bills. The Bills will still undergo the due process of this House. We are passing the Report to allow the Bills that contain provisions on party-hopping to be considered. Whether they will be accepted by the Members or rejected, it will be dependent on this House. The Report does not carry party- hopping provisions. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
