    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my knowledge, I did know that the new Constitution had banned political parties or that parliamentary groups can no longer meet. Under the new Constitution there is Schedule Six that provides for the transition. That is the reason we still have a President who is also a Member of Parliament, a Prime Minister who is also a Member of Parliament and Members of the Cabinet who are also Members of Parliament. That transition says that this will continue until the next elections are held. So, there is nothing unparliamentary for political parties meeting as parliamentary groups to discuss and agree on positions that they will take on matters that are before this House. This is usually a normal parliamentary practice even in the House of Commons."
