    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to pose this question: what is House business? It is a hypothetical question. In my view, it is the business of the House as contemplated under Article 95 of the Constitution. The Standing Orders also contemplate that business may be Government business, those originated by the Majority Leader or Committee Chairs, or those originated by Members. Whereas we are allowed to ask Questions and seek Statements, there is little room for Members to originate Bills which come to this House. I am not saying this so that Members come up with Bills and end up taking the role of Government, but to the extent that the public that elected us to this House expect that we think through the problems that affect them, propose and bring legislation, whether they are defeated or passed, there is a record of the House that such an attempt was made."
