Hon. Maore has been away for some time and the induction course was only for seven days. It was a few days. We need to increase it to one month.

The ad hoc committee that was spoken about by the Leader of the Majority Party, which is supposed to be formed in the afternoon, shall be done by the Committee on Selection. He is the Chairman of that committee. My party which sits in this House has no membership in the Committee on Selection. So, I am wondering how he will form an ad hoc committee without membership from all the sides of the House.

The last time we discussed amendments to a Bill on elections like the one we discussed in the 11th Parliament, it was a very important matter. I remember we formed a bipartisan committee where I even sat. The issue was very important. It is now being handled so casually that because you have numbers, you can bring amendments to the House and expect them to go through. This is a very important matter to this country. This is changing the rules of the game in the middle! I am sure if I heard Jubilee Party clearly, they said the President ...

Under Article 10 of the Constitution on the values and principles, when Parliament is enacting a law, it must regard the matter of national unity. We have to address ourselves to these amendments and determine whether they are enhancing unity or they are going to create disunity. For sure and from the instruction that I have, we are not going to allow these amendments to go anywhere. I can tell you that for free.

I do not support this Motion because these issues are grievous to this country. I request the Leader of the Majority Party to shelve this Bill and let us discuss it in a bipartisan manner. Let us look at the merit of the issues they want to bring. Ordinarily, the people who should bring amendments of this nature are the IEBC. They should be the originators of this matter because they are the ones who are going to conduct elections, unless Jubilee wants to be a player and, at the same time, a referee.
