• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. I do not wish to repeat myself because my colleagues have spoken on most of the issues.

That is why I am presenting my case. I started by saying that I am supporting the calendar as presented; without amendments. The calendar contains a proposed recess.
