    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I am also of a similar opinion to some of my colleagues that, for us to have an Act of Parliament, there are three ways. One of them is through a private Member, and the other one is through the committees. The third one is through the offices of the Majority or Minority Leaders. I am concerned that this Petition, which requires a Bill, and I think this is a unique case that seeks to be enacted in this House, and this person has already proposed the Bill. He is bringing the Bill in the form of a Petition that will end up at the Public Petitions Committee, which is supposed to be dealing with life matters that are happening out there, such as demolitions. That is what this Committee should be dealing with. I tend to think that this would have been best handled by the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining, which deals with the geophysical profession. We need to look at it a little further to make the right decision because I do not know whether the Chairperson of the Public Petitions Committee will eventually own this Bill and front it on the Floor of the House. This is because the Bill has to have an owner in the House eventually. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
