    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I know Members of this House know that the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee is their agent and that the issue of IEBC, as the able Chairman has said, is one of national importance. It is actually one of the issues that our friends in CORD have indicated they wish to indulge in some dialogue. IEBC is a constitutional Commission and we really need to get the public views on its disbandment or otherwise. So, it is true that the Committee has deliberated on this issue and has found that we do not have sufficient time to go through all what is required and, particularly, the Petition and other public hearing fora. So, we urge the membership of this House to allow this Procedural Motion, so that the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee will bring to this House a report that will stand the scrutiny of time and one that will be acceptable across the divide. We want to do a good job, be above board, honest and forthright. With those few remarks, I second. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
