"content": "Good point, Hon. Nyikal. I have given instructions that whomever will be on the Chair during the Committee of the whole House stage, has the latitude to allow for some unusual comments. This will be informed by the views collected from the public contained in the Committees Reports, which we expect will propose some amendments. Therefore, whomever will be the Chair at the time will allow Members to give comments relating to the Bill and any Member desiring to propose amendments will be given some latitude to do so even at that time after hearing the report of the Committee. This progress had been decided upon because the House needed to transact the business in the second stage of the Bill. This is the avenue we shall take for the time being. Indeed, with regard to any other Bill that the House may debate in the Second Reading, maybe, the same approach will be used. Since, we have been in extraordinary circumstances; we are also required to use extraordinary means of ensuring that, at least, the House benefits from the views of the public. Order, Members! I am reminded that there had been published since Thursday last week an Order Paper, but subsequent to that, there is a Supplementary Order Paper which has come up. I hope that sufficient copies have been distributed for each Member to have. We are dealing with the business ppearing on the Supplementary Order Paper. This has happened because the House Business Committee (HBC) met at 12.00 p.m. to make some decision regarding the order of business to be transacted this afternoon. The Leader of the Majority Party."
