    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for allowing me to use the minute that was granted to me. This was a very critical Committee. They had a series of sessions. I want to put it on record that we are missing a great opportunity. The lessons that will be learned from the findings of this Committee must be applied in generality, in a way that tries to fix the problem in the entire Parliament. The Member for Rarieda has said, in a sense by implication that this should be dealt with. He is worried that as a Member of Parliament, going out there, it is not every Member who is guilty. Indeed, even within the PAC, the guilty know themselves. You cannot pass a common or general guilt across everybody. I take great exception to that. Secondly, it means that we still have not tackled the problem of how we are going to deal with this issue particularly beginning with people who do not respect Standing Order No.91. That is the gatekeeper to privilege in this House. You should not say what you cannot substantiate. You should not speak out something that cannot be substantiated. We have lost an opportunity to fix the big problem; the elephant in the House, that is still outstanding. In finalising, I hope the Chair can refer to specific provisions in the Standing Orders or the law. He is a lawyer."
