Hon. Speaker, I will stick to my point. This is a very weighty matter. As you can see from the mood of the House, it is of concern to many Members. It is my request to the Chair of the relevant committee, who wants to invite the Cabinet Secretary, that the session should take place in this Chamber so that as many Members can attend. Further, I am aware that there is a draft Social Protection Bill that was prepared by the former Cabinet Secretary. If possible, the Cabinet Secretary can even come with the Bill on that day, so ...
