    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the legislative function of this House to be subjected to the opinion of the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs? This House is legislating at Committee Stage; the views of the Minister, respectable as they are, do not supersede the functions of the House. Madam Temporary Deputy Chair, the Standing Orders talk about a Motion. Standing Order No.47 talks about a Motion. We do not have before us a Motion. There is developing a habit in this House that everything is sent to the Chair or the Speaker for determination. It is not the Speaker or the Chair that makes laws. Absolutely not! It is the cardinal function of the House; it is the mandate of the House. It is not the mandate of the Speaker or the Chair. It is certainly not the mandate of the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to make laws. Will I be in order to seek that we move ahead with the business of the House?"
