    "content": "Hon. Members, the Political Parties Act provides a general framework for the formation of coalitions, but leaves the substantive provisions to the formulation of the respective parties to a coalition. Where the substantive provisions of a coalition agreement are unclear, ambiguous or are in contention, the interpretation of the intent of the parties is left to the general jurisdiction of the legal system. Nevertheless, perusal of an agreement entered into between the partners in a coalition would greatly assist in resolving or forestalling unnecessary disputes which are likely to impede the conduct of the business of the House. Indeed, upon obtaining a copy of the NASA Coalition Agreement, my immediate predecessor urged that the provision of coalition agreements to the House should become standard practice. This is what informed the introduction of the new Standing Order 2B in our rules of procedure."
