    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to seek the following clarifications from the Leader of Government Business and the Chair of the House Business Committee. It is now over eight months since the controversy in this Committee began. The functions of this Committee have been transferred to another Committee, which is a great burden to the other Committee. However, those functions have been discharged fairly effectively by that Committee. I am aware, and I am sure the Leader of Government Business is aware that one party of the Coalition has withdrawn its Membership from this Committee in writing. Why can the House Business Committee not decide to disband this Committee and reconstitute another one? We have over 222 Members of Parliament who are qualified to be Members of this Committee. Why should we be held at ransom by people who are only interested in trying to fulfill and satisfy their egos, which is not necessary? This country needs to move forward. The Committee to which the functions of this Committee were transferred, discharged its functions and cleared 15 Bills in a week. What do we have to do with a Committee that has become rogue? Why can the House Business Committee not disband this Committee and have a new Committee in place?"
