    "content": "Yes, but hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am just trying to look at the other aspects. I have also looked at a matter we have spoken about here that committees are mandated to look into reports. They can and are allowed to table reports within 48 hours of a resolution being made but we have not made a decision. If you look at the Standing Orders, they do not say how long a report of a Committee will take to be debated once it is tabled in the House. I think these are some of the deficiencies that we need to think about. Lastly, I think it is time this House pronounced itself on the issues of chairpersons of committees. It is time that chairpersons of committees realised that they are just but first among equals. Some committees have shown a lot of laxity, yet they have hon. Members who can actually do those jobs. This provision which makes a chairperson of a committee sit there for about five years once they are elected or until a Motion is moved 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."
