    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, let be just belabor the obvious, being that this is a debating Chamber and we are paid to talk on this Floor. Anything or anyone that seeks to gag debate in this House will be violating the very essence of our presence here. Therefore, with all due respect to the Chair, I do not believe that if you have 20 Members seeking to express their views on any matter, unless you are constrained by factors that are so fundamental, there is absolutely no reason why the Members of this House should be restricted in undertaking the primary reason why we are here. We come here to debate. We may disagree. We may even become passionate, but at the end of the day, our primary reason for being here is to debate. I want to raise two issues. The first has to do with Order No.11. When I look at Order No.11, it is seeking to amend the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution."
