    "content": "Hon. Members, that brings us to the end of the comments on the three Petitions. Let me make it absolutely clear that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is a committee of this House and it comprises of members from this House. These members could very well even serve in the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Should they find anything that they think is not in their limits, they are at liberty to make recommendations that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade takes over their Petition. However, let us also have faith in the fact that those members are equal to the task. Indeed, Hon. David Were is a ranking member of this House. He is doing his third term. He is actually an elder now. I am sure he and his membership are equal to the task. So, let us just allow one Committee to deal with the matter and they can sit and refer back to the House for appropriate direction, whatever they think should be dealt with by the other Committee. We are not going to have two Committees dealing with one issue. You can imagine 58 members. Where are we going to accommodate them? Is it here, the Senate Chamber or County Hall? Let just one Committee deal with the matter. Most likely, you may find that they make recommendations to other bodies or agencies of Government to take action as they find appropriate. Let us go to the next Order."
