    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I wanted to draw your attention to the statement by the Leader of the Majority Party. In his statement, he talked about the Bills from the Senate. I wanted to bring to your attention that there are Bills that have been sent to the Senate by this House, some of which have constitutional timelines. We even sat as a House and extended the time, during the last Parliament, for one more year. Those Bills have not been discussed in the Senate yet they are constitutional Bills that have timelines. I want to bring to the attention of the House the fact that once the Bills arrive at the Senate, the constitutional timelines are no longer there. The timelines were only binding when the |Bills were in the National Assembly. That is a very important matter because when Bills come from the Senate, they are tabled here in a very speedy manner, but when they go to the Senate, they take ages before they are discussed. In fact, they continue discussing petitions every afternoon sitting. It is a matter that we need to address as a House, that is, whether those constitutional timelines still exist or those Bills no longer have constitutional timelines.
