    "content": "Hon. Members, before proposing this Question, I want to draw your attention to the clear provisions of Standing Order No.176. As you know Standing Order No.173 is on nomination of members of select committees. Standing Order No.174 is on criteria for nomination. Standing Order No.175 is on approval of nomination. So, once you have been nominated, the approval is by the House. It is important that we bear that in mind. Standing Order No.176 (1) is on discharge of a member from a committee and it states: “The parliamentary party that nominated a member to a select committee, may give notice, in writing, to the Speaker that the member is to be discharged from a select committee.” Standing Order No.176(2) states: “The discharge of a member shall take effect upon receipt by the Speaker of a notice under paragraph (1).” Hon. Members, I am drawing your attention to this Standing Order just to show you that it was not necessary for this House to even get involved in this, but I think what the leadership has done is to make sure that everybody knows what has happened so that hon. Members do not come to the Speaker’s office to claim that they have been moved"
