    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stood here, this afternoon, to suggest something that seemed to be a possible solution to this problem. The assertion of the Senate Majority Leader will be like abdicating responsibility. It is incumbent upon the Senate Majority Leader and Chairpersons who purport to represent the Government to prepare and liaise with the Speaker’s Office and the Office of the Clerk. All they need to do is to liaise with the Office of the Clerk and ensure that those things are done on a routine basis. That is why the Office of the Senate Majority Leader is there. If only they could build some mechanisms along with the respective offices of the Senate, we would not have problems. There is a clear indication that the Executive is failing. It is not the Constitution that is failing. It is the implementers who are failing. What do we need to do, therefore? We simply need to put up standards and, as you told us, this can only be done through the House Rules and Business Committee, if I got you right this afternoon. So, they must be held accountable."
