    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I feel the Committee is being superficial. Hon. Gumbo has a long list of amendments he is proposing. If we were to deal with them in the House, it will be voting “Ayes” or “Nays”. He is proposing that the Committee should do a more thorough job by allowing him to articulate these amendments before them so that they are refined adequately before being brought either as Committee recommendations or if he refuses what the Committee says, he will subject them to the vote in the Committee of the whole House. We cannot have so many amendments listed by a Member without reference to the Committee responsible. The Chairman should let the Member take the amendments before the House and the hon. Member is pleading that he wishes he were able to argue them before the Committee so that we reach better quality output over the particular amendments. Hon. Speaker, you are right. We are not going to debate these amendments in the Committee of the whole House. Let the Departmental Committee finish their job by letting hon. Gumbo to appear before them with the amendments before those amendments are brought to us. As you have explained, there would be better quality output."
