    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the purpose of the adjournment is to grant an opportunity to Members of Parliament. This is a normal programme of Parliament that when we are opening a new House, Members of Parliament must be given an opportunity to be inducted and trained on how the business of this House is carried out. Part of the programmes that would be in the induction is the functions and mandate of Parliament. That is part of what will be in the induction. Others are rules and procedures of the House in detail. The process of law making will be part of the agenda that will be in the induction programme. They will also be taught about the legislative budget process including oversight as contemplated under Article 95 of the Constitution and also the Committee system, which is an integral part of any Parliament, among others. While we were moving the Procedural Motions, again a number of our colleagues were not here. Because it is important and it is about them and the people they represent, I would like to take this opportunity to ask them to join us and the other Members in this induction programme that will start on Monday, so that they know how to conduct themselves while in Parliament. It is very important The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
