    "content": "weekend, including the whole of next week and Labour Day celebrations will be saying you passed this law. The people who elected you are looking to see whether you are actually… The Committee of the whole House is where we make laws. Legislation is such an important function for Members. I was not expecting this having looked at the Report of the Committee responsible for this Bill and the proposed amendments by both the Committee and individual Members and having read through the Bill. There is no place without roads. I am sure even in Seme there are roads. I can see the Member for Seme has withdrawn to sit in a different position. I am sure he must be consulting with the Hon. Prof. Honestly, roads are an important topic like water and irrigation. Members come in and walk out casually like they have not looked at the Order Paper to know serious business is being transacted. Hon. Members, just try to talk to your colleagues. The Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Whips, try to implore your colleagues that when we get to Committee of the whole House… In the Second Reading we hear a Member contributing and saying that at Committee stage they will be proposing an amendment to a certain clause. We come here to see whether the Member who threatened to introduce an amendment is carrying out his threat. Many of those who said they are going to introduce amendments have walked out. Committee of the whole House is a very important stage of law making."
