    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first, I want to bring to the attention of the House - I want Members to listen because I read this Report. I want Members to know that what is before us was a Petition. We must start with what the prayers of the petitioners were. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to highlight the prayers of the petitioners. The first one was: Is it possible? I am trying to put the petitioners’ prayers in line with Article 119 of the Constitution that allows Parliament to receive petitions but to act within its authority. The petitions we receive in this House must be in compliance with the powers given to us by the Constitution. So, what was the first prayer of the petitioners? It was: Is it possible for this House to uphold the petitioners’ right to occupy, reside and do business and own LRNo.5875/2? In my honest opinion, this House does not have those powers. So, the answer is no. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
