"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I apologise and thank you for indulging me. I have just come from the airport and do not have my card. As we go on, when I carry my hand, I request that you kindly indulge me. I think this matter has come before this House before. I would encourage the Leader of the Majority Party. Your name is the Leader of the Majority Party. It means you have a majority. When you misuse your majority, it shows impunity. Even in Committees, you have a majority. Please follow the procedure for posterity. If a Committee has passed a report, it is unprocedural for the Chair to sit unilaterally and change or amend the report of the Committee. You are making the work of Committees useless. Going forward, I would want to encourage that we follow procedure. I know the Chair of the Committee is a guy who listens. People listen to him. I have been to his Committee. He can encourage Members, Members will listen to his amendments and he will have the Members. But the way we are going is unprocedural, it is wrong, and we are setting a terrible precedent in this house."
