Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. As we watch the debates in the National Assembly and read utterances in the newspapers, and sometimes watch on TV, we wonder whether the two gentlemen who come unfortunately from the side of the coalition where I am, are really there for the good of this Government or they are there as moles to bring down the Government.
