Now, what we are unable to decipher from the hands of the Chairperson because the Chairperson has not come out clearly whether they decided to change the format and, therefore, come with a report--- From his answer, he says that, that is a summary of a report; which means, therefore, that it should have followed a format of a Select Report. By the way, hon. Senators, not all reports are debated. You can come up with a report, table it in the House and it is not debated. But because it was a report responding to a question from a Senator, which is then a property of the House, then the proper way would have been to follow the procedure of coming with the report, come up with a Notice of Motion; then later we have a Motion and then debate the report. But, if it is going to be a Statement, then it should be a Statement that is properly so signed - this one is not signed - it could be a Statement as a result of a Committee inquiring into the procedure and, therefore, there is no report. You could just have issued a Statement here without necessarily going through that because it is not a must that it comes signed from the CS. Now, to make it clear for the Committee - because I can see there is confusion as to whether they were tabling a report or a Statement from the Chairperson - for them to extend and prepare a proper report-----"
