    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for drawing the attention of this subject matter to Mr. Githae. I have taken this opportunity because I have not yet been sworn-in. However, I am one Member of this House who would not wish to see hon. Members violate their own rules; whether one is a Minister 440 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 15, 2008 or a back bencher. We must respect the dignity of this House. It is very unfair to start deliberating this Bill before it is sent to the appropriate Departmental Committee for scrutiny. The Bill will go through the First Reading and Second Reading and so on, but what will happen if a Member of that Departmental Committee defers this Bill? It will be deferred and it will be proper according to the rules of this House. Therefore, yes, I have not been sworn, but I praise the dignity of this House. Whether I am a Minister or not, the dignity of this House should be respected."
