Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the issue of the Member for Makadara, I believe that the Chair has pronounced itself on that matter. So, I will not venture into that.

In fact, it is also a surprise that when there is such an important Bill, there is very little attendance in Parliament. Be that as it may, I think let us move ahead and support the Bill.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to seek your guidance because I responded to this Question and even tabled the contract document. So, my understanding was that we deferred it to today to allow the hon. Member to look at the contract document and then raise specific issues.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the expression of interest and in the contract document which I did give to the hon. Member, and I table another copy in the House, I would like to draw his attention specifically to page 9 of the contract document.
