"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. The proposal to bring the governor before our debate is one of those very important innovations that we are putting forward after learning from experience. Since the governor already knows the verdict of the Committee, coming before us is like an appeal. Therefore, it is better he makes his case first before we can sit, canvass and make a determination. If I will have made my position known during the debate before the governor speaks, it becomes even a contradiction for me to vote after that, having been convinced by the governor, yet I am on record having taken a particular position. Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas this is the first time we are going to do this, I think there is a better way to do it. The governor speaks first then we have an opportunity to consider what would be in my opinion part of his appeal, then apply the same to our debate and the vote. This has been unique in this governor’s trial from the time we started with the committee and the process in which we identified the committee Members. With your permission, this will be a better way of doing it."
