    "content": " Hon. Speaker, there is a lot of interest in this matter. I am sure we may not all have an opportunity to say something on it. On a point of order, I am a Member of CIOC and we have gone through all these Bills and tried to harmonise them. Because you ordered for a joint sitting, there should be a joint report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the CIOC somewhere. We spent taxpayers’ money for close to five days trying to harmonise the Bills. I have noticed, upon inquiring from the Clerk, that for some reason, the Chairs of the two Committees did not append their signatures to the joint report. Would I be in order, Hon. Speaker, to request your office to cause the Chairpersons to append their signatures to that report, for whatever value it may have, so that it is tabled? It would help Members to see the areas that the Committees harmonised. A lot of things have fallen by the wayside. If you look at these Bills, they are the raw ones that were drafted but a lot of work has gone through them over time and the areas we could debate are very few. Would I be in order, Hon. Speaker, to ask your kind office to cause the Chairs to have the joint report tabled and provided to Members in Room 8, so that we can look at them to enhance and enrich the value of our debate?"
