    "content": " Thank you, Sen. Musila for reminding me of that critical point of order. First, I want to confirm that it is not usual, going by other practices, for an ad hoc committee in particular to be suggested and you go ahead and propose a chair and a vice-chair. If you look at the way we have adopted our committees, even in this sitting, we have always given the names and then hon. Senators go to elect the chair and the vice. The tradition has usually been that the Mover of the Motion would chair. That was an earlier understanding. This is your House; if you decide that you can simplify the work of the Clerk by calling the first meeting for purposes of electing a Chair or proposing the same at the beginning, there is really nothing against this, per se. However, it may not be democratic enough. But since the Motion will still be adopted by the House, I guess it is even better in the sense that the entire membership has acceded to that kind of chairmanship rather than the few hon. Senators who would have been appointed to the Committee. These are issues that can go either way. Proceed, Sen. Orengo. I do not think you had finished moving the Notice of Motion."
