"content": "Well, with regard to the Petition, the Petition may raise whatever issues but the House is now seized of the report. The debate, I am sure you remember, commenced in this very Chamber yesterday. So if there are issues that you would want to ventilate, which are raised in that Petition, as you debate this report, it is good to share them with your colleagues here. But we cannot stop the House from continuing with that debate on account merely that a Petition has come, because a Petition can be presented at whatever time and it will still be referred to the relevant Committee to look into whatever issues. Whether the issues raised in the Petition are some of those ones which are substantially the same, or whether they are saying that the report should not be adopted-- - If they are saying that report should not be adopted, then they have come too late. They also say that delay defeats equity, because the report has already been made and tabled. The House has already commenced debate on it. If they are trying, for instance, to suggest that debate should not continue, then the best you can do is to try to persuade your colleagues in one direction or the other, because the matter now belongs to the House."
