    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader, I present the Statement of the Senate Majority Leader on the Business of the Senate for the week commencing, 4th June, 2019, pursuant to Standing Order No. 52(1). Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order 52(1), I present the said Statement. On Tuesday, 4th June, 2019, the SBC will meet to schedule the business of the Senate for the coming week. Subject to further directions by the SBC, the Senate will consider Bills due for Second Reading and Committees of the Whole on Tuesday, 4th June, 2019. The Senate will also continue with the consideration of business that will not be concluded in today‟s Order Paper. On Wednesday, 5th June and Thursday, 6th June, 2019, the Senate will consider business that will not be concluded on Tuesday and any other business scheduled by the SBC. There are 37 Bills pending consideration by the Senate of these, 21 Bills are pending at the Committee of the Whole stage while 16 Bills are pending at the Second Reading stage. In order to expedite their passage and to ensure effective use of the time available to debate and conclude on them, the SBC has resolved to have Divisions on Wednesdays. As a result, I urge all the Senators to be present during the Divisions so that we can expeditiously conclude this business. I also take this opportunity to urge the Senators who have sponsored Business to ensure that they are present to prosecute the Business when scheduled. I continue to urge Standing Committees to expedite consideration of the Bills referred to them and table reports in the House. This will enrich debate at the Second Reading stage and facilitate the House to effectively navigate the Committee of the Whole stage. In addition, I urge Senators who are serving in the Mediation Committees for the 5 Bills currently undergoing mediation to expedite the process, taking into consideration the constitutional timeline and need to have the issues settled without undue delay. I, thank you, and hereby lay the Statement on the Table of the Senate."
