    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, I want to raise an issue about the procedure in this House. There may be votes in this House; but each vote is critical and it counts. This is a Motion that we all support and we are all voting, yes. But there maybe be serious contentious issues that the proxy vote must be proved to be a proxy vote. A proxy vote must be based on instruction. That is what the Standing Orders say; and that is what the Constitution provides. If you care to listen, you can answer me. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you, yourself, have said from the Chair that you will be demanding to see the proxies. Some things you can let pass – like I have said this is a Motion that we are all supporting – but we may reach a level where when the distinguished Senator, the teller, says “Yes” and the distinguished Senator, Beth Mugo, says “Yes.” The ultimate is that they have no proxy; they are just voting and voting is not just a ritual in this House."
