    "content": "Hon. Members, time and again in the past the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker have approved Motions. When Motions are approved and they come to the Floor of the House, Members rise and question the validity of the Motions because of serious constitutional issues. If that happens and the Standing Orders tell you that any Motion can be moved; there is no Motion that can be moved on the Floor of the House without being approved by the Speaker. However, the approval by the Speaker is not a presumption that the Motion itself is constitutional. It could be constitutional or occasionally not be constitutional. That is upon the House to debate and bring out the constitutionality or lack of constitutionality of a Motion itself. Therefore, saying the Speaker allowed or did not allow something is neither here nor there. Can you proceed and just debate on the merits and demerits of this particular Motion and its constitutionality or unconstitutionality?"
