    "content": "If you know how much respect I have for both the Chair and for yourself--- I had really hoped to catch your eye before you made the ruling. I do not, by any stretch of imagination, want to seem to be challenging your ruling. It is a ruling which binds all of us. But then this also goes to the procedure on how reports are prepared and, therefore, their coming to the House. I do believe that delivery of a report to the House is not just a question of someone reading it and then internalizing it. It is a report that it prepared in a certain context; it is dependent on a certain level of consultation. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know the Leader of Majority Party is a thorough man. I want to believe that before he prepared to deliver this report here, he must have engaged in some very wide ranging and deep consultations; the Chair of this Committee may not have been privy to the manner in which the report was prepared. So, perhaps, for the purpose of moving forward, the ruling needs to stand. Any matter that properly falls within the purview of Standing Order 44 should go to the chairs of committees; these matters are different from general matters as indicated in Standing Order 44 (2) (b). But for this particular report, and without seeking to challenge your ruling at all, I would believe that, perhaps, it will be best if the offer--- I am using the word “offer” for lack of a better English word. The author of this report, who is the Leader of Majority Party, would be best placed to deliver it to the House; he has the background and understanding of how this report has landed in the House. With due respect, I do not know whether merely reading the report on the face of the record, will sufficiently prepare the Chair of the Committee to deliver the report and handle interventions from the House."
