    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to support this Motion. I just want to point out that, yes, the responsibility of the House Business Committee is to come up with programmes, the Calendar of the House and how the House is supposed to conduct its business, of course, with the support from the technical team. I thank our technical team which has been having very clear attention to detail and making sure that the Calendar is in line with the most important activities of this House. I just wanted to remind the Hon. Members, again as I said here the other day, that this is the most crucial Session of this House. It is because, after this Session, I am very sure we may not be able to pass as many Bills as we possibly would. The Bills which are ready in this Session alone include - I think - over 46 Private Members’ Bills. It is important that we make good use of our time. One thing that Hon. Members will notice is that the months of May and June are actually the most crowded due to the budget process and an additional responsibility which started from the last part of the 10th Parliament, to the 11th Parliament and now to the 12th Parliament. It is the responsibility of making sure that the Appropriation Bill is passed by 30th of June every financial year. We must have an Appropriation Bill in place by 30th June. If we do not, the operations of this country will just come to a stop. Additionally, we now have an added responsibility to make sure that the Finance Bill, which we have always been passing around September, must now be passed before the end of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
