    "content": " Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, we went through this because fortunately I was looking at the HANSARD this morning although on a different issue. The last time we sat and canvassed this issue, we went through it at great length and you contributed at great length. My ruling, since I was in the Chair was that this is a Senate Bill and not a National Assembly Bill. It is not the same Bill that has been to the National Assembly. It is completely different, I had made a ruling on this and we are dealing with it because it is in front of us. A constitutional amendment Bill can originate from any of the two Houses. What was lost in the National Assembly is not in my knowledge and we went through this last time. If I remember correctly just from my memory is that a Bill like this was lost in the National Assembly and because it was lost, no message came from there. I have no knowledge of it. This is a Senate Bill and we must do what we must do and we are going to have to do what we must do; finish with it and send it down via message to National Assembly. If they decide to throw it out, so be it. If they decide to throw it out and it goes to mediation, so be it, but the fact remains that we have a job to do and we are going to do it. If you look at the HANSARD of the last time we canvassed this issue, you will find that we took more than one hour. That is the direction I gave and it is the same I am now giving. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
