Madam Temporary Speaker, why can we not issue it in one month’s time so that we come in between? One month will be in the next two weeks. We can give an answer in a month’s time because we have to deal with the foreign affairs office. Even some Members of Parliament sometimes accompany the President on some of those trips. It is not one organ we will deal with to come up with a comprehensive statement. That is why we need at least a month.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have put it correctly, it is a minor amendment which was inserted by the National Assembly with regard to the commencement date.

15 Aug 2014 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to be on record that my Majority Leader has not whipped anybody outside. If, indeed, he did that, I would have been the first one because I was seated with him.

Suppose we will not have the quorum at that time again, what will happen? That is what I wanted clarified.
