Hon. Speaker, with your indulgence, I wanted to comment on the Message that you just delivered and, indeed, appreciate the gesture by His Excellency the President to invite Members of Parliament for the launch of the BBI Report.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have said, we have our Standing Orders that we read, but we do not seem to interpret and understand what they provide. What we are debating is a Report by a Committee of the House. The House has every right to debate and consider reports tabled before it.
