¶ 01 I will conclude my speech with this point too. Please give me a few seconds, Hon. Presiding Member. I was given 15 minutes. It became 12 minutes; it became 10 minutes. Please, do not do that.

¶ 02 I challenge you. Here is the report. If you can, make arrests and show us. You cannot, can you? Why are you doing this?

¶ 03 Thank you.
