President of the Senate, Senator the Hon. Tom Tavares-Finson, says the virtual sitting of the Upper House is a positive outcome of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that should be embraced and developed.
The Senate recently made amendments to the Standing Orders to allow members to participate in meetings of the full Senate, virtually.
“It is said that from every crisis comes good and that no crisis should be wasted. So, this is a development that has come out of the pandemic but it is one that the Senate will embrace. So, while it was spurred on by the pandemic it is a development that, in 2021, we should embrace and develop,â said Senator Tavares-Finson while addressing a recent Think Tank.
