    "content": "Committee because it said that it was going to have a hearing from the Office of the Attorney-General. I presented myself before the Committee, but they were not ready. By procedure of this House, if a Committee is not ready, the proceedings of this House do not stop. I cannot be punished because the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has not done its work or because the Office of the Attorney-General has not done its work. Even when you change individuals in Government, the Government does not change. This Bill has gone before the Office of the Attorney- General for discussion. It has also been discussed by the CIOC. The Bill has gone through public participation. Unless there is any other reason, or unless I am being told that I am being discriminated against – which is not the case – I want to urge that you exercise the authority that is conferred to you and give precedence to this Bill, so that I can complete it. Every person and every Member has the mandate to either defeat or support this Bill. If the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs wants to defeat this Bill, it should be on the Floor of the House, instead of frustrating my Bill."
