Sen. Osotsi I take this matter to very weighty. If we look at what is happening in Haiti and people---

Sen. Osotsi: I am trying to look for a provision where I can give you that one week that you require. This is how the Standing Order is crafted- “If a Senator has sufficient reason to convince the Speaker that the Senator is unable to substantiate the allegations instantly, the...
