I have sat pensively listening to all the contributions one by one, by each distinguished Senator, speaking passionately about an issue that I hold dear to my heart. Listening to them, it is clear that it is something they also value. This is something about legislators; putting right at the heart of their work, the needs of the people who sent us to represent them in this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I have noted many of the concerns, points of agreement and convergence that my colleagues have on this issue. Just as my colleagues were speaking, I kept on reading. I cannot get tired reading about tea each day and the more I read about it, the more I am fascinated about this lovely drink that we enjoy almost on a daily basis. One of the facts that I read this afternoon from a very reviewed - not just those online journals that you read - medical journal from one of the leading medical universities of the world, it states that amongst the drinks that any person, who hopes to live a healthy life needs to take on a daily basis, tea comes only second to water. After water, tea should be your favorite beverage. I know it is a struggle for some of our colleagues, but they have recommended only three cups. The rest of the cups, you can enjoy the rest of the drinks that you think about."}
