    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Again, I want to second this Procedural Motion. We have just realized that a lot of times, we spend so much time on one Motion. And remember this House has many other businesses. Our main responsibility is to pass laws in the form of Bills, not even Motions. Usually Motions are wish lists where the House urges or asks the Government to act in a particular way. That is not meant to downplay the importance of Motions, but we are just recognizing that for us to be more productive we need to limit the time that we spend on Motions, whether for approval of appointments or individual Members’ Motions to a maximum of two hours, as the Leader of the Majority Party has said. I just want to add maybe two comments regarding this matter. I want to urge my colleagues that you really do not have to speak to every Motion that is before the House. Let us also try to balance so that we allow the people with more expertise, information and knowledge in various matters opportunity. Those who are qualified in matters of health, like my brother on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
