    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought those contributions should have come at this point. However, we, in the Committee, take great exception to the decision by the Speaker. I was hoping you would hear me on this matter. This is not ordinary Government business. This is part of the constitutional implementation process. You will note that from February up to date, we, as a House, have not passed one Bill concerning implementation. This matter was hurried when it came to the House for debate. The time was shortened. The House Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs had issues and time was spent while we were waiting for that matter. That is why it had to come through a ruling by the Speaker to the Committee on Implementation. Part of that ruling was a deadline; Monday this week. The Committee went out of its way to meet that deadline. Part of the business of today is not just a Bill, it is a report of the Committee. To seek to delay this process without consultations or recourse to the Committee, to go ahead and do that, we take serious exception. Secondly, these matters to do with the Constitution are a little bit different from typical Government business. Indeed, if we were to push for legality, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs does not appear anywhere in the implementation process."
