    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my argument. That is a very genuine legal position. It would create a positive and would mean that the House adopted the previous report that was laid before it and we know that is not the case. I think that is a critical point to consider. The other point to consider is the question of proceedings in the House and even in Committees. It is my understanding that this House is not adversarial. We do not have clients for whom we vote \"yes\" or \"no.\" Our position is that we debate issues as they come to the attention of the country, and disseminate them for the purpose of the benefit of the country. Therefore, there is no property in a decision of this House that one side can say that it owns the negative result of the original Motion or report, and therefore, you cannot entertain a new one because you will be denying it property. That is my position; that, issues that have come from the Controller and Auditor-General that have come to this House and been rejected, remain open because you will be denying us property. It is my position, and I submit this with utmost humility, that, issues which have come from the Controller and Auditor-General's office remain open, so that no side can claim property to the decision that we made when we rejected the report."
