    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. I know Standing Order No. 237 permits you to allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to a petition presented and reported. It says such total term shall not exceed 30 minutes, but it does not expressly provide in a situation such as today where you have more than one petition. In such instances, as per the Standing Order, we refer back to Standing Order No.1 which gives you the authority to guide the House on how to transact any particular business. My request is that in light of the fact that on the Order Paper there is another petition, perhaps you could allow for it to be read, then allow all of us to make comments because in the form and text of Standing Order No.237, it is general comments that we are generally making on petitions so Members can speak to either of the Petitions. Otherwise, the reverse will be that we spend 30 minutes each on both the first and the second Petition. I beg your indulgence if you may permit. Thank you."
