On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the co-chair of that Committee presents his report, we need your direction on that. The co-chair says that they have prepared a report which he has tabled before this House. He has proceeded to say that the Committee undertook a vote on this particular ---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before I go into the issues that I want to raise, I want to clarify that the substantive issue that I wanted to settle with the Chairman of the Committee was whether he was tabling one or two reports. It is important for that to be clear to this House.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the distinguished Member, Sen. Ong’era, say that these amendments are setting this country on a collision path?
