    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to say that I spoke to the Majority Leader yesterday, he told me about the importance of this Bill. I totally buy the notion that this is a very important Bill. However, it is a constitutional matter that requires unanimity and carrying along everybody. If the mood as I see is that Members want a little more time to walk together with the Senate Majority Leader, that is a request that is not unreasonable and it is a request that we should all support. I have heard what Sen. (Dr.) Ali is saying that let us debate this Bill with a view of defeating it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us not encourage the Senate Majority Leader to move a Bill that we intend to defeat. I think this Bill is likely to cure something but we all need to walk together. Therefore, it would be important for us to defer debate, consult and agree on what to do. If what we agree to do is not in line with what is being proposed, perhaps the Bill can be withdrawn and amended in such a manner that it will carry all of us. We should not pass something that we are divided about such that when it goes to the other House, we are ridiculed or we look ridiculous. Thank you."
