    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have two concerns. I do not know if there are specific reasons as to why these Statements are not appearing on the Order Paper. When the Statements are on the Order Paper and one gets it early, even the Chairmen are able to prepare before the Statements are requested. The clerks-at-the-Table can probably inform you if there is a reason. I have noticed this trend from yesterday where certain Statements are missing. On the two Statements requested by Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, both of them are touching on the status of life of persons living with disabilities. One of the Statements has been directed to the Committee on Education and the other one has been directed to the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee. This House has a Committee that specifically deals with the status of life of persons living with disability. Her next Statement may probably be on occurrences on roads on persons with disability. That will then be sent to the Roads and Transport Committee. The reason as to why we have a specific Committee that even has a file, and I chaired that Committee in the last House, is that the Committee has institutional memory on the progress made in realizing equalization of opportunities of persons living with disability. I beg to suggest that both Statements have been forwarded to the wrong Committees. There is a Committee in this House on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunities and Regional Integration that is supposed to deal with the status of life of persons with disability, women, youth and anyone else who is discriminated pursuant to Article 27 of our Constitution. I ask that you re-designate those two Statements to go to the same Committee that has a history of dealing with these matters."
