    "content": "Hon. Senators, you may also be aware that petitions, although they have timelines within which they should be reported back to the House, they do not lapse at the end of the session. This is to allow committees to finalize any petitions that are before them. Hon. Senators, Statements now form part of the core business of the committees. Borrowing from the practice of dealing with petitions, at the end of the session, and given the new provisions in the standing orders on statements, I hereby wish to guide that, statements that are referred to Committees shall not lapse at the end of every session as has been the practice. Referral of a statement to a committee, is a delegation of duty, which must be done to the logical conclusion and in a timely manner. As I have said, you do not have to wait for 60 days, so that the House does not act in vain. Thank you."
