Our Women Representatives have the capability of being chairs of these committees. In this case, I do not want to talk too much, but I am encouraging my hon. colleagues to support this Bill. We are going to bring amendments when it comes at the Committee level, so that we can bring harmonization.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. There is a respected scholar from Harvard Business School who said that failing to plan is planning to fail. Indeed, what the House Business Committee (HBC) has done is actually showing a framework; a plan that we will follow. Therefore, it prepares hon. Members, all the Key stakeholders to know what they are supposed to do at particular times. Hon. Speaker, there are some Constitutional Bills, for instance, the Division of Revenue Bill, which involve people and institutions like the Senate. It will be nice to harmonize the calendars so ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Of course, I know it is on the amendment. I have ears and I have heard that. I rise to oppose the amendment. The idea is good. But the idea of saying that we are going to get the money that is going to be used for the audit, I do not support it.

In case of any deviation, we are going ...

We have even urgent matters; not even the aspect of the National Gender and Equality Commission. We know very well that the doctors are soon going on strike. This is an issue which is also very urgent, Mhe Naomi Shaaban has spoken about it. We have heard about the issue of teachers in this country. Those are also matters of urgency and as per the Budget cycle, we are only about three to four months away. Why can that Commission not wait? When you do a cost-benefit-analysis, if we are going to accept this amendment, the demerits are more than ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise to support. I remember the last time we were here, when the name of one Jennifer Barassa was presented, I was on the Floor of this House supporting. She had all the qualities and qualifications but, hon. Abass, who is my very good friend, came and said that her attitude was wrong and that is why her name was dropped. We agreed principally in this House that the next replacement should be somebody from the region where Jennifer Barassa comes from. I stand here today to congratulate ...
