"content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the question of election date, hon. Members of the House will remember that there was, indeed, a court case which was determined by a panel of judges. They did make a ruling which suggested that elections could only be held after the end of the life of this current Parliament. This Tenth Parliament will last its full term. The date of elections subsequently is fixed in the Constitution as the second Tuesday of August, every fifth year. The question now is: When does the life of this Parliament end? In the opinion of the court, Parliament was elected in December of 2007 and sworn in on the 15th of January of 2008. So, in the opinion of the court, the life of Parliament ends on the 15th of January, 2013. That ruling has been challenged through appeal in the courts and the results have not been determined."
