    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I happened to be on the Chair yesterday when this issue came up. In gauging the mood of the House, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs did indicate that he would be submitting the Motion to the House Business Committee. At the time that was done, the Prime Minister's committee was already sitting. We were aware that the Prime Minister, in fact, had called for a meeting even before the issues were raised in this House. Therefore, when the House Business Committee sat last night, its Members were aware of the need to complete the Prime Minister's problems, if any, and come back to this House in time to contribute to this Motion. More importantly, we are being asked to undermine a very important constitutional principle. When this House sets its Business, it does not refer, nor does it defer, to the Executive Arm of the Government. What the Prime Minister is doing is performing Executive functions. Let the Executive functions not undermine or interfere with the work of this National Assembly. Let the Motion be debated. That is the mood of the House. That is what informed the Chair and the House in referring the matter to the House Business Committee yesterday. The House is ready to debate this Motion now."
