    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you remember in the last Special Sitting, there was an attempt to have the First Reading followed by the Second Reading which was thoroughly opposed in this House because it was clear that most Senators wanted that it goes for public participation and it be treated like a Bill is normally treated in this House. I am surprised that, today, we say that we do not treat it the way we treat Bills. My submission is that we have the written way on how Bills are dealt with. We did the First Reading, committed the Bill for public participation and that report can only inform of the Third Reading. That is how we deal with Bills. So, it is double standards to say we treat it as an extra-ordinary Bill. It is a Bill. To be honest, we need to continue to Second Reading and that Report will inform the deliberations in the Committee of the Whole."
