    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a direction on the Standing Orders. If the Standing Orders direct a committee to table a report within 30 days and the report is not tabled within 30 days, there must be a default for purposes of movers of Bills. It cannot be that a delay becomes usual business and a complaint from the Senate Majority Leader because there is a Liaison Committee. There must be direction because this will become the order of the day and it will affect Government and private Members business. What is a Senator supposed to do if the 30 days lapse and there is no report? That is general direction, not necessarily for this Bill, which we have agreed to adjourn under Standing Order No.99. What exactly is supposed to happen? It cannot be business as usual. We are being accused by the National Assembly of sitting on matters that concern counties and that are brought to our attention. These are some of the things that we must speak to."
