    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As the able Mover has just mentioned, this is Procedural Motion and it is focusing particularly on debates of individual Members’ Bills. I also want to highlight that when you talk of individual, these are Private Members’ Bills and most of the times they come on a Wednesday. So, on a day like this, morning hours, it is normally reserved for private Members. This is important particularly for the new Members then maybe, in the afternoon, other businesses can follow. So, the limitations that have been put here are just the dos and don’ts. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I stand here to second. I can see Hon. Members in red. I want to wish them a happy Valentine’s Day, and for the Christians like me, I want to also wish them a blessed Ash Wednesday. For Christians, we are not celebrating Valentine’s Day. Today particularly is a day for reconciliation, it is a day for fasting and praying. And you are supposed to abstain from those other things. So, Hon. Deputy Speaker, without much ado, I wish them a blessed Ash Wednesday. This is the beginning of Lent; a time we pray for 40 days as we prepare for the Easter Holiday. This country needs much reconciliation, particularly at this time when it is so divided. This season should foster a good and peaceful environment in this House so that we can move together as a country and as a team. I thank you and second."
