As the House is aware, the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities is a sessional committee and has sessional terms and, as such, ought to be constituted at the commencement of every session of the House. The offices of the Majority and Minority Whips submitted their lists of nominations to the Committee on Selection for consideration. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 173, the Committee on Selection, during its first sitting on 26th February 2020 and pursuant to Standing Order 172, looked at the attendance and performance of those Members and unanimously adopted the list. This is a very important Committee. It receives and considers views of Members on services and facilities provided for their benefit and wellbeing, and advises and reports on all matters connected to the services and facilities to the Parliamentary Service Commission. So, I urge the House to approve the names to enable the Committee to elect its chairperson and vice- chairperson, as well as transact business related to their mandate. Since this Committee was put in place, a lot of things have changed. We have not reached where we are supposed to, but I think services have improved. I can confirm that today. Hon. Speaker, you had lunch at the Lounge today, with members of the leadership. I am sure the Committee can do better. With those many remarks, I will ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second."
