    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the issue that has been raised by hon. Abongotum is a fundamental one and there was a time I raised the same issue. I think we need to be very clear on Standing Order 44. The Statement that the Leader of Majority Party is just about to deliver was requested under Standing Order 44 (c); it relates to matters under the mandate of the Committee; the Speaker may appoint a day for the issuing of the Statement or direct that the Statement be issued on the same day. So, these requests for Statements are supposed to be directed to committee chairpersons. The Leader of Majority Party or Leader of Minority Party can only issue statements under Standing Order 44(b); what kind of statements are they supposed to issue in this House? It is the Leader of Majority Party or the Leader of Minority Party, as the case may be, or their designees, who may make statements relating to the responsibilities in the House or the activities of a committee. So, these are general statements as opposed to the specific statements that we seek in this House. I think we need to realize that Statements requested under Standing Order 44 (c) should be directed to committees."
