    "content": " Hon. Speaker, you have given clear guidance on that issue. Therefore, I will not speak on the most substantive aspect. There are just two that, perhaps, are important to speak to because they affect more than just the Committee. I think it is important that even as the Chairs read statements as prepared in response, they look at the language. The language was rather intemperate. It is important that even as you respond with a given answer, you find a way of asking the responder to tamper it. The second procedural issue is what I heard Hon. Wario say. That, initially, he was to attend the meeting and the meeting did not happen. That begs the question whether the answer was right. It probably suggests that it should have been withheld until such a time of the meeting that you are now suggesting. My last point is procedural. I raised it earlier and I thought I could raise it now. We are all aware that the Chair of the Committee is indisposed. We may have to consider at some point either as a House or through your discretion, under Standing Order No. 30(1), as read together with Standing Order No. 1, in terms of the sittings that we had extended. Because of the rising COVID- 19 situation, our sister House has reduced its sittings to one day a week while we had increased ours to five. We may have to consider, especially the evening sittings. With the health protocols, given the time between the morning sittings, the afternoon sittings and the evening sitting, do we have sufficient time for fumigation? I think this point is something to ponder. Thank you."
