What can we claim that we have done better than the National Assembly? If we come here and ask the same questions--- I have a lot that I can ask about, but I keep asking myself: Is this really a House for questioning?

• 17 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for recognizing me. I just want to make a few comments about this Report. Madam Temporary Speaker, first, we must congratulate the Committee which made a lot of effort to, at least, bring something to this House; to remind us of the problems that we have in our hospitals. This is just a reminder and there is nothing new. In fact, if you look at page 6 of this Report, you will notice that it has exactly explained their recommendation. You even do not have to visit other hospitals because this problem is universal. We ... view
