This directive was given by the Speaker. It was not given by the Chairs of the committees. In fact, what I was expecting to hear is a message from the Speaker as whether or not his directive had been complied with. We need to hear from the Speaker, and if that is not possible, then I would agree it is better to hear the Chairmen to speak officially and formally for the committees before we can have any interventions. I know that the deputy majority whip is a member of the committee but I think she should allow the Chairs to speak to us formally. That is why we have them; and then it would be easier now to react to the difficulties they may have encountered."}
