    "content": "House that we defeat this amendment. Instead of asking you for a ruling, we defeat it. I want to give two reasons. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to persuade this House not to fall into the temptation of believing the Chair that this amendment is for tenants. This amendment is going to bring anarchy. Can I just give a hypothetical example? What this law is saying is that anybody who has a loan now can decide even if you have the capacity to pay not to pay and if you pay... That is a landlord and not even a tenant. If you do not pay, you can still continue charging tenants rent but you do not pay and if you do not pay nobody will hold you accountable. That is anarchy. If as a government we want to help people who have mortgages or loans, there is a better way to do it. But this is a populist approach. I think we praised you too much until you got spoilt. This populist approach from the Senate and these things borrowed from the Sakaja Bill which do not make sense should not find their way into this House. We reject this populist amendment."
