"content": " Madam, Temporary Speaker, I am a Member of this Committee but we cannot treat the Business of the House anyhow. When something appears in the Order Paper, there must be a basis or justification to withdraw it or rearrange it. This Motion relates to a constitutional commission. Therefore, it will be highly irregular knowing how people are behaving elsewhere when it comes to issues of dealing with constitutional processes. We are involved in a constitutional process. This is what we are required to do under the Constitution and that is to establish the commission. In fact, other commissions are established in a different way but this one has to be established by Parliament. Unless we are given a valid reason, people elsewhere may think that Parliament is not meeting its constitutional mandate. I would have probably moved the Motion if I was assigned to do so. If there is no justification, then the Motion fails. That is what happens when an Order is called and it is not moved. If the Motion is not moved, there should be a justification for us to interrogate if there is sufficient reason to do so."
