    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendments, not on the substance of the formation of this Tribunal, but on the basis as to why these amendments are necessary. In history, the struggle between peoples and their rulers have necessitated the appointment of parliaments over the ages, because the Executive’s power must be restrained and controlled. I have served in Parliament at a time when Motions and Bills would be brought to this House and passed within 15 or 20 minutes. I think that the changes that have taken place in this country should put us in the Government on the alert that we no longer have a Parliament which will accept every Executive decision without scrutiny. The earlier we begin to accept that position the better."
