    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the gist of my application, therefore, is that the HANSARD reporting then happens to operate within a legal framework: a legal framework through subsidiary statutes like our Standing Orders that I quoted and also through other case law and traditional practices. It is, therefore, a full report of the first person verbatim. My contention is that nothing at all should be removed or added to what an hon. Member says so that the expression of the Member, the intention of the Member shall not change because of any alteration of the HANSARD record. Therefore, any change to the HANSARD should only be for the readability of the text but not to change or remove anything. In our Assembly, Standing Order No.248 provides for production of time within which the HANSARD has to be produced, which is 48 hours. Standing Order No. 248(2) provides for a correction process. For instance, if a Member wants the HANSARD corrected, Standing Order No. 248(3) provides for Speaker’s determination on proposed changes of what the Member said. Therefore, in this House, the Speaker has pronounced himself on various occasions, with abandon, on several issues. One of the issues is probably the admissibility of documents on the Table of the House. The other one is the unparliamentarily language of Members and the other one is expunging 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."
