    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I move this Motion I am very aware that there are May 7, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 889 certain underlying fears and apprehensions that I have already made reference to. There is the suspicion and fear that this Motion is founded on political vengeance. There is suspicion and fear that hon. Members are seeking the establishment of this institution because they missed out on Cabinet appointments. That is not only an insult to the integrity of hon. Members sitting on your left hand side, but it also is also a very myopic view. I do not think there is any hon. Member in this House who is so myopic in their thoughts that they would imagine we can have a Cabinet of 222 people! We are fully aware that we can have a Cabinet of only so many. We know that one is elected as a Member of Parliament not to become a Cabinet Minister, but to play his or her role to legislate, oversee and represent the people. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Members on your left know that vengeance is the Lord's, and so we are not actuated by any vengeance!"
