    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in noting the importance of this Committee to ensure the smooth running of the last Session of the Eleventh Parliament. I still echo my reservations for last year and the year before that. I still think that in future we should be able to have reshuffles in the various Committees in order to give all Members a chance to serve. In terms of continuity and institutional memory, we have the specific offices that are already listed here; the Speaker, the Senate Majority Leader, the Senate Minority Leader, the Senate Majority Whip and the Senate Minority Whip. These are the Senators who should give other Members a chance to serve in this Committee. We should also consider persons with disabilities. Whereas I have no doubt in the capabilities of the specific Senators named here, it would be a good learning process if we encompassed that idea of changing the Membership so that we give them a chance to learn and to be able to create even more that can be able to fit and lead this Committee into the future. Nevertheless, I look forward to this Session and the faster we pass this Motion the faster we are able to commence business."
