"content": "I beg to be excused. Hon. Speaker, PSC is a quasi-commission. I have forgotten the proper phrase. It is not an ordinary Committee of the House. It cannot enjoy the same privileges like the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relation, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee or the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. They can bring a Motion here and withdraw it hiding behind the Standing Orders. They can only withdraw it under Standing Order No.51(2) which says “with leave of the House” in which case we must debate why he is withdrawing it. That is my understanding of the Standing Orders. If we do it the way Hon. Keynan wants us, and we are not accusing him of anything, without debating the other issues which may have come up and which he has put on record, we may be contravening the same Standing Orders."
