    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House orders that the business appearing as Order Nos.9 and 10 in the Order Paper be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3), being a Wednesday Morning, a day allocated for Business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party or Business sponsored by a committee. This is just in line with what we are going to do after this Procedural Motion, that the next sitting days, starting with yesterday afternoon, we will just be dealing with Committee of Supply, a very important aspect of the budget-making process of this House. In line with that, the House Business Committee (HBC) reached a decision last night that we exempt business from the provisions of Standing Order 40(3), this being the day allocated for Private Members. So, this is just to make sure that as a House we follow the procedures. I would ask the Leader of the Minority Party, who was also in the HBC meeting, to second and ask the House to approve the Motion, so that we can go to the real business of Committee of Supply. Before I ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second, let us maintain quorum, colleagues. Yesterday it was very good. Those of us who are fasting have no choice. I do not know why the Muslim Members of Parliament are not here. They do not even go to the lounge to have tea. So, they can sit here between now and 6.30 p.m., until the time for opening of the fasting comes. Let us maintain the 50-Member quorum so that we can all participate in the budget-making process."
