I just wanted to seek a clarification. In a case where you have three different Bills pertaining to the said matter, is there a possibility of co-sponsoring a Bill between a Member of the Senate and a Member of the National Assembly to fast-track certain Bills? This is because the public participation Bills that we are talking about may be similar in content or principle, but with minor differences in terms of approaches. I am saying this because I also have the Reproductive Health Bill, which is still waiting for the pre-publication processes. I am told there is possibly another one in the Senate. So, is there a possibility, for purposes of fast-tracking so that we do not have committees going through similar Bills at the same time, that we have the Bills co-sponsored? I have not seen it in the Standing Orders, but I do not know whether there is a possibility of co-sponsoring Bills. I thank you."}
