    "content": "to have neglected the Committee’s directive of getting advice from the Attorney-General, which is a very serious thing. This House has its mechanisms of enforcing its procedure through the Committee on Implementation. A person who has ignored a committee’s report is not enforced the way we are doing. This is guillotine. The only way is to take it back to the Committee on Implementation, so that he also gets another opportunity of saying why he ignored the report. If we go this way, it is guillotine and it is chaos. That is what that report is all about. Hon. Speaker, there are several things which I would have demonstrated, but respectfully, I urge you to use Standing Order No.1, your own discretion and something which will help all of us. We want to debate this thing. We do not want to lose sight of it. It should come before us. Let us debate and if we find these public officials culpable of something, we must say so and we must get them responsible for what they are. Let us do something which makes us get them where they belong. I urge you to find that this is one of those Motions which you can take back and either send it back to the Committee, so that we tighten it up, or you can, by your own, make a determination as to whether the tenets of administrative law and fair rules of the game has been met. How can you, for example, want to debar somebody using rules which came to effect after the offences have occurred? It cannot work ex post facto . The rules came into effect on some day. By the time these acts were said to have happened, those rules were not there. Hon. Speaker, under Article 50, which you are very conversant with, how would you want to predate these actions and find somebody to be debarred on actions which were done when that thing was not law? Look at this. It is going to embarrass us. I think it can still be taken back to the Committee. We still have experts, and we still have the will. When we return it to this House, it can be a missile which is guided and a missile that will succeed in its purport. I thank you."
