• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was really rushing back on account of the proceedings of the Committee of the Whole which met this morning. To show the significance of a Committee of the Whole and why we borrowed this procedure for purposes of the meeting this morning, it is important to know what happens when you have a Committee of the Whole. That is found in Part 22 of the Standing Orders and I will invite Mr. Speaker to look at it.

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: We must discuss it with certain resolutions. I think that is the direction we should go. If we leave it until tomorrow, I think all the urgency will have been lost. I take issue with the clerk who was sitting this morning because I remember - I want the Clerk to hear this - we asked him to assist the Committee of the Whole come up with an appropriate report on two issues with resolutions: On the question of non- compliance by the Cabinet Secretaries. It is actually contempt of the House; constant repeated contempt of the House. Secondly was ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we had passed this Order as rightly put by Sen. Murkomen and Sen. Wetangula. However, I beseech the House that we are a House of records.
