    "content": "Happy New Year, hon. Speaker. Thank you for your wise ruling on this matter which hopefully unlocks the impasse of last night. Now that the House Business Committee membership is essentially nominated by political parties in the House, is it then okay for hon. Members from other political parties to decide which person the political party should nominate? That is because if, say, my political party has nominated an hon. Member to the HBC, is it not the responsibility of my party? Is it really the party then nominating because if then the House is allowed to delete that name or add another name, then are we really allowing that political party to have its say, as it were? So, I do not mean to question your ruling because it unlocks the impasse of last night, but I think it is a very critical matter that needs to be considered as to the right of the political right to nominate a person of their choice. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
