"content": "Hon. Speaker, I perfectly agree with you that my point of order has nothing to do with the clarification you have made. But it has been triggered by the contribution of my very good friend, hon. Sakaja to the extent that after you have given a Communication, an hon. Member cannot give a view that may appear to differ. This is a House of rules; it is a House of records; it is a House of traditions. It is a tradition of this House that even after the Chair has given direction and especially if that direction is intended to receive further consideration by another organ of this House, in this case, the Communication from the Chair will receive further consideration by the Rules Committee, nothing in the traditions and practice of this House precludes Members of this House from putting on record sentiments that could be considered by the Rules Committee in considering your Communication. Therefore, those views some of them may be divergent from the Communication from the Chair but the purpose is to give the Rules Committee the broadest range of sentiments possible to enable it prosecute that direction. Therefore, I just thought that the position taken by hon. Sakaja cannot go unchallenged in view of the traditions and practices of this House. The Leader of Minority Party is perfectly in order to hold views that could guide the Rules Committee in considering your Communication. 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."
