    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, noting the recent changes in the composition of several Committees of the House, particularly those occasioned by the changes originating from the Majority Party, appreciating the need for further consultations and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 256 (Exemption of Business from The Standing Orders), this House: – (a) resolves to exempt the filling of the vacancies and the election of Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons to the various Committees from the provisions of Standing Order 173(3) (Filling of a vacancy in a Select Committee within 14 days) and Standing Order No. 179(2) (Filling of a vacancy of a Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of a Select Committee within seven (7) days); and (b) orders that the filling of the said vacancies in Committees and the election of Chairpersons and Vice Chairpersons be concluded within thirty (30) days from the date of this resolution. Hon. Speaker, as Members would be aware; Standing Order No. 179 provides that whenever a vacancy arises in the offices of the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, the Clerk shall, within seven days, appoint a place and time for the meeting of the committee to elect a Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson. I believe such communication has already been sent out to comply with your earlier ruling. Similarly, Standing Order No. 173 provides that a vacancy that has been occasioned by resignation or removal of a Member from a Select Committee shall be filled within 14 days."
