    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to talk about two Committees, namely, the Powers and Privileges Committee, and the Committee on Procedure and House Rules. These Committees never met in the entire life of the Tenth Parliament. I do not see any reason as to why the Powers and Privileges Committee should meet in the life of this Parliament. The Committee meets only if one of the hon. Members of this House is supposed to be disciplined. Since we were told by the Speaker in the Tenth Parliament that we were a disciplined lot of Members, this Committee did not meet. So, we should not deny somebody sitting in the Powers and Privileges Committee a chance to sit in Committee because sittings of that former Committee are hinged on gross misconduct of Members of this House. Since we are hon. Members, I do not see this Committee meeting. While moving the Motion, the Leader of the Majority Party put it very clearly that the Procedure and House Rules Committee only meets to review the Standing Orders. So long as you do not want the Standing Order changed, the Committee will never meet. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
