    "content": "Let me correct some matters. It is important that we all agree on these issues so that we find a way forward. Standing Order No.171 says that:- “A Committee of the Whole shall not consider any matter other than a matter which has been referred to it or which it is required by these Standing Orders to consider.” I have read to you what we are supposed to consider. I proposed the question. If you check, you will find that it is virtually the same question that was proposed by the Speaker when we opened the debate after it had been moved and seconded. So, what are we supposed to consider? We are considering whether or not we will approve the amendment. That is what we are considering for the avoidance of doubt. I do not know whether you are saying that there should be no debate on that because if you say there should not be debate on that, then we are changing our rules. The next question that arises is on Standing Order No.109, which Sen. Wetangula has referred to, on whether or not matters are relevant. If you are putting the challenge to me whether or not they are relevant, then I can understand and rule on that. However, Standing Order No.171, does not help you. Sen. Murkomen, I must now insist that you now conclude or be completely relevant to the issues at hand, so that we are able to move forward."
