"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I respect the right of Members to ride on statements, it is becoming too much. Sometimes it distorts the initial intention of the Senator who had framed to ask a question to specifically address an issue of his constituents. When we visited the French and British parliaments, questions are specific to the interests of constituency that the representative was asking here. If you allow endless riding, the initial purpose of that question losses meaning. Going forward, I want you to develop a policy on this issue of riding. First, the Senate is going to be only dealing with statements for almost the whole afternoon. Secondly, it is going to distort the intention of the representative: Someone who sat down and thought through an issue on behalf of his constituents and the other one who just came to ride are not the same. You need to think about it."
