Members, even listening to what the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party have said and also in keeping with my earlier Communication on review of the Standing Orders, I think this Motion is a good instance about us rethinking how we treat petitions. If you read between Standing Order No.225 through 226 and 227, reports on petitions are merely supposed to be sent to petitioners. I think it is not a fair way to spend public resources that a Committee of this House would go out there to do investigations and just send the report to the owner. It is like ‘return to sender’. I think we need to look at it. Hon. Members, I think these are some of the things that we need to also think through in making proposals, so that, at least, the House gets to know what it is that the Committee has found regarding whatever petition and allocate sufficient time within which to consider those reports."
