    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, to take the route that my colleagues would suggest is that for each particular one, we would now have to do it separately. That is, publish it and so on and go through that process. Yes, we had many months and a lot of time. We could try it that way but when you have what we are facing, it is a new Constitution. We have a raft of legislations coming up which we must attend to before we can even begin to dream about holding a general election and then we want to say that because they have all come in one document, let us just completely stop the train and examine each carriage on its own. Really and as it has been suggested, there are a variety of Bills or Acts. Those which are relevant to finance can go to the Finance, Planning and Trade Committee. Those that are relevant to justice and legal affairs can come to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and sometimes I have the impression that we are overburdening the Speaker and sometimes assigning the role of Parliament itself to the Speaker. This is because sometimes we are asking you to rule on something which should be settled by debate and by the hon. Members themselves."
