    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance. I rise to support this Motion and in doing so, let me say that I have been among Senators who felt in the previous years that it is a good idea to have different Members of the Senate serving in different committees, more so the Senate Business Committee. However, last year, as you recall, the wisdom of the House and the leadership and the parties was that they retain the same Members due to experience and perhaps it would be more expedient to the business of the House. Now, I think we have a different reason for retaining the same because we have a very short time to go and if we start disrupting Members who are more familiar with the procedures and so on, perhaps we will not be doing us any favour. In the same vein, I would like to urge the leadership of the Majority and the Minority to also retain Members who are in the various Committees because at this time, we have, to the best of my estimation, maybe three months of active business in this House. Other than that proposal, I beg to support."
