"Thank you Mr. Speaker,

I just want to say that on the whole, I am not against the essence of the bill, but given its Constitutional nature, and given some of its more controversial provisions, as pointed out by some members, it would be best that we would refer this bill to committee just so they can suggest tweaks and all of that to make this bill the best it can be."

"Point of parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker how will this ad hoc committee thing work? We have set no procedure for this.

Could the honorable member elaborate what they find controversial?"

"Without objection, the vote is dispensed with. The Chair is now open for the tabling of another bill."

"I will appoint the Rt. Hon Chu Canh Kim [Licen], the Rt. Hon Chi Guozhi [Freyhill] and the Hon. Ahmed Corbor [Nariterrr] to the committee on the Judicial Oversight Commission (Establishment) Amendment."

Standing Rules wrote:RULE VIII. COMMITTEES

a. Committees shall have five business days to conduct a review of a question that has been committed.
b. Should a committee need more than five days to conduct a thorough and adequate review, they may request more time from the Speaker.
c. Committees shall vote amongst themselves any changes they feel are necessary to the question committed.
d. Committee Recommendations may be adopted by the full Senate upon the conclusion of the Committee Report by the Chairperson.
e. The Committee Report shall be all Committee Recommendations made, comments and annotations by committee members on the question, and a statement or statements from the committee regarding the bill. Committee Recommendations may be moved after the Committee Report is made, and upon being seconded, they may be voted on for two hours.
f. The Committee Report shall be read by the Chairperson when no other business is pending.
g. Upon conclusion of the Committee Report and adoption or loss of Committee Recommendations, the question will be laid upon the table, edited or not, as if it had not be committed.

"Apologies Mr. Speaker, I seem to have misinterpreted the Parliamentary Procedures Act. I move that we dispense with the voting on the current motion that I put forward, and instead move that we start voting on the Competition and Consumer Act.

I just want to tell the other members that once voting finished for the CaCA, we will move on to the Elizian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Act"

"We now begin voting on the Competition and Consumer Act. Twenty-four hours. A simple AYE or NAY will suffice."
