"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, if you have two letters indicating to you who is the Leader of Government Business, what you should do is make a ruling and call this House to a vote. Let us vote, because a Committee of the a House cannot supersede the House itself. The House Business Committee is just one of the Committees of the House. Its leadership must be subject to the House. It must enjoy the confidence of the House. Therefore, the person who does not sit in this House, except on ceremonial occasions, cannot determine for us who is going to be the Leader of Government Business. We know, from the Government Circular that has been the subject of interpretation in this House, that the Leader of Government Business in this House â the one who supervises and co-ordinates Government Ministries â is the Prime Minister. We cannot escape from that fact. If we are to escape from that fact, then we must as well abrogate the agreement that was so painstakingly done by the former Secretary-General of the United Nations."
