    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to first acknowledge that the direction you have given is absolutely the right direction for the Committee and the Chairpersons will comply. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was seeking your indulgence so that the directive can also extend to the House Business Committee, so that once we are done with a Bill, for example, the Roads Bill, then we ensure that Bill is prioritized and put in the Order Paper because once a Chairperson and the Committee, like me, have done our work, it is for the House Business Committee to put the Bill in the Order Paper. We are helpless. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, lastly, we need to consider how we sometimes address the issue. Also that directive will be taken when we have a Government Bill on the table, because, for example, in the Roads Bill, it is understood by us and we appreciate what the Senate Majority Leader said; we need to make sure that we harmonize the position so that you do not rush this Bill because we have finalized and you lose it on the Floor. As a Committee, we also have to juxtapose the two positions and ask how we should even move. So, my request is, let that order extend to the House Business Committee and to the Office of the Senate Majority Leader such that then he would know how to balance the interests when the Committee has already done its work."
