    "content": " Honourable Senators, let me take this opportunity to welcome you back for this Ninth Special Sitting of the Fourth Session of the Senate and thank you for finding time from your holidays and your busy schedules to attend this Special Sitting. I am sure each of you had scheduled family and county commitments and it is because of the value you attach to the business of the Senate, that you have created time to be here. Hon. Senators, by a letter dated 22nd December, and pursuant to Standing Order No.29(1) of the Senate, the Senate Majority Leader supported by the requisite number of Senators, requested the Speaker to convene a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider among other things the approval of the nominees to the National Climate Change Council, approval of the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget on the Budget Policy Statement and consideration of the Election Laws (Amendment) (No.3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.63 of 2015) among other urgent business as listed in the Order Paper and the Gazette Notice convening this Special Sitting. Following consideration of the request by the Senate Majority Leader, I was satisfied that it met the requirements of Standing Order No.29(2). It is in this respect that I convened this Special Sitting of the Senate via Gazette Notice No.10682 dated 23rd December, 2016. 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"
