    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I thank you for standing firm with the House on this matter. The business of establishing committees for this House, giving names to those committees, designating the functions of those committees and deciding how many of the Members of this House sit in such committees is the business of this House. It is not the business of any Government operative. It is not the business of the Attorney General or the CIC. Indeed, even if we decided to establish a committee and designated it a committee of goats and sheep, it is all constitutional, so long as that committee would be discharging those functions of Parliament. When this important facility of the Committee on General Oversight was established, personally, I thought Cabinet Secretaries would take it up very quickly. In fact, I believed that the Government would encourage them to do so because this is a Government with a manifesto, a Government seeking to do so many things, which have never been done in the history of this country."
