    "content": "Secondly and finally, the CIC has a mandate to preside over the implementation of the Constitution. However, the CIC is not a constitutional court. The CIC does not have the constitutional mandate to render binding opinion on the Constitution. The mandate of the CIC is very limited to preside over the process of implementing the Constitution. This House must be very careful and must proceed with a lot of caution on the kind of weight you attach to any pronouncement or opinion from the CIC. For two reasons, namely, one, the reason I have just stated that the CIC does not have the mandate to bind anybody as a constitutional court would do. There is an opinion and it must always be taken as an opinion. Therefore, nobody must ever attempt to gag this House merely on the strength of an opinion expressed by the CIC. There is no constitutional basis whatsover on the same."
