    "content": " Yes, I was representing the Leader of the Minority Party today, who I believe is still the Leader of the Majority Party until the courts decide otherwise. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for capturing the spirit of the House. Away from the doctors’ strike or any other issue that comes to the Floor, we are protecting our space as Members of this House. A motion of adjournment is very special to us because we get to exercise our mandate of representation in this House. Even though we are unable to resolve anything in this Motion, it gives us an opportunity to ventilate freely on issues. A Cabinet Secretary comes to the House because we oversee him or her. However, the special space of the Motion of Adjournment must never be clouded under issues of the day or politics. Hon. Speaker, in your absence, the Hon. Temporary Speaker made a decision which you are now aware of. When proceedings are taking place either in committee or some other place in the precincts of Parliament, the plenary is unable to interrogate and discuss those issues. We want you to preserve the Standing Order and our space to ventilate openly, even if we do not resolve anything. This opportunity is sacred to us. This is the issue that we present to you on the sacredness of this Standing Order to a Member of Parliament, whether on this side or the other one, on any issue that we think should be addressed."
