    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for allowing me to contribute to this discussion. Whereas, I appreciate Sen. Murkomen’s point of view, you know how weighty this matter is and you know how important those public hearings were and the Committee was there to listen to the public, synthesize those views and bring them to us so that as we debate the substance of the amendments in the Second Reading before we go to the Committee Stage, we can also digest the Committee’s proposal, which would then help us in making further amendments at the Committee Stage. It will be penny wise and pound foolish if we jumped the Report and started debating before we listen to our Committee. This is a particular amendment of an important law that we cannot subject to an ordinary procedure in this House. We should concentrate on ensuring that the debate in the Second Reading is substantial, given the input of the Committee that was looking at those amendments. It has taken its time to make its proposals to this House. I would like to appeal to the other side to see that point. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have the powers to even extend the hours that we are going to discus to ensure that we give this issue the weight it deserves."
