My December 10, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4035 concern was that this House has been passing Bills without the necessary quorum. I was, therefore, going to suggest that we have a clause that makes it mandatory for a quorum to be there before a vote is taken on legislation at the Second Reading Stage. However, Mr. Deputy Chairman, Sir, in order that I do not appear to be imposing the will of the former Sub-committee on Standing Orders, I want to withdraw."}
