    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am speaking on a fundamental issue. In fact, I think I would have the same opinion whatever side of the House I would have been. That is because even what I am saying is more for the benefit of your party of the coalition than this side. We have to set precedents in this House. We also have to avoid the danger of creating a mongrel system for this country that overwhelmingly passed a Constitution that gives us a pure presidential system. I think that is something that we can do later on. But let us think about it. Let us think objectively. Later on I will be urging the Procedure and House Rules Committee to study other jurisdictions that have a pure presidential system and how they have organized their parliaments especially the committees. In the USA they have a separation between the Budget Committee and the Appropriations Committee. If you do not do that you face the danger of having all the other Committees and even Members from outside of the coalition considering themselves as an extension of the Government which we are not. With those remarks, I beg to support."
