    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I have no objection to this Motion, I nevertheless wish to register my very strong disappointment that we are again being taken for granted. If the purpose was to exempt the Private Members’ business, then that business ought to have been on the Order Paper in order for it to be exempted. As it is now, the House Business Committee proceeded on the basis that the House will rubberstamp its decision and the House will, therefore, go straight to the constitutional Bills. This is wrong, unprocedural and except that it is a matter involving the Constitution and the need to implement the constitutional provisions within the timelines, I would have opposed this. The message ought to go out to the House Business Committee that this is not a rubberstamp House. We proceed on the basis of the decisions we make when they are made. It is wrong for the Clerks or whoever prepares the Order Paper to go on the basis that the House will exempt the Private Members’ business before that business comes to the House."
