    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The rule of sub judice should not be used to promote opaqueness in this House or this country. There is no way mentioning of the court case number and the package can be prejudicial to the determination of the case. Last week when this Question came up, I had specifically asked the Minister to come prepared to give us the cases, if any, that have been filed against either Mr. Devani or other core-directors of Triton. I would like to say that the previous rulings in this House by yourself and your predecessors and in the House of Commons, which is similar to this Parliament, this House cannot be stopped from discussing a matter even when it is before the court. It is how deep that discussion goes where Parliament tries to balance so as not to prejudice. So, I will leave the matter to you but let it be clear that the Executive cannot hide behind this rule to promote opaqueness and probably underhand deals instead of legal proceedings."
