    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This House has ruled time and again that the constitutionality of any Motion or any amendment or any Bill can be raised at any time and if the Speaker deems that that Motion or Bill is unconstitutional, it need not to occupy any more time of this august House. It is clear to me that this proposed amendment is unconstitutional on six fronts. I will be very brief. First of all, Article 37 of the Constitution gives the right to demonstrate to picket or to petition. A right we did not have before. If you want to limit that right, you must comply with Article 24, the limitation of rights. Under Article 24, you must demonstrate, you the mover, that that limitation is reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society. The Mover and the Seconder have not even attempted to demonstrate that it is reasonable or justifiable at all. On that alone, it should not proceed any further."
