    "content": "Again, the issue of the chairmanship of a meditation committee has been a problem. The Bill states that the Committee shall have equal numbers of Members of each House. An equal number of Members will never elect a chairperson. If each delegation goes in with a fixed mindset, none will ever elect any chairperson. There will always be a stalemate because they have equal numbers and will vote in equal numbers. To resolve the stalemate, I will propose an amendment that the House that rejected the Bill should take up the chairmanship of the Committee, and the House that originated the Bill should take up the vice-chairperson position. How will they resolve disputes? They will do so by consensus, or each House will vote separately. That is another recipe for a stalemate, and we will never move forward. This is a progressive Bill. I request that we get a lot of input on it before it is finalised. Hon. Temporary Speaker, please allow me to finish as I have a several minutes to go. I just wanted to conclude so that I do not encumber the system. I need your guidance."
