    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this important Bill which seeks to deepen our democracy and maintain a clear link between the citizens of this country with their National Assembly and their elected leadership on matters they may consider important to them. The drafters of our Constitution thought that it was important that, although the sovereign power of the people to make laws rests in this House, this House should be able to listen to the presentations of the public, where a petition is properly brought to Parliament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you observed, this is a straight forward Bill, because it seeks to provide for much of what we already have in the Standing Orders, but which we are in any event required by the Constitution to place in a Bill. With those remarks, I beg to second."
