    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a Procedural Motion. It is in keeping with the parliamentary practices and traditions at the beginning of every Session to guide the House on the manner in which debate will be carried out. I am, therefore, proposing that time be allocated as contained in the Motion. The next seven Motions that follow are not substantive Motions, but simply procedural proposals asking the House to set timelines on the time allocated to a Member or Members every time they are contributing to a business before the House. In this case, it is a Motion that is sponsored by the Minority Party, the Majority Party or a committee of the House. Each Member will contribute as specified in this Motion. Ordinarily, we do not expect any form of acrimony on the timelines as they are only meant for keeping in line with the parliamentary practices. I am sure when we began our Session in 2018 and after we were sworn in, this is exactly what we did. We set the rules of the game in every session early enough. If there is a Motion which is sponsored by the Minority Party, the Majority Party or a committee of the House, the guidelines that will be followed in terms of speaking precedents and the timelines are the ones that are stated in this Motion."
