    "content": "defined as one which, though not strictly verbatim, is substantially the verbatim report, with repetitions and redundancies omitted and with obvious mistakes corrected, but which on the other hand leaves out nothing that adds to the meaning of the speech or illustrates the argument.” The Canadian Parliament defines the House of Commons Debates, commonly known as the Debates or as HANSARD, as “the report in extenso of the debates which take place in the House and in a Committee of the Whole, with due regard to necessary grammatical, vocabulary and editorial changes”. To what extent can a HANSARD Report be edited? That was Hon. Waiganjo’s second question. In most jurisdictions, each Member of Parliament is given an opportunity to read the transcript prepared of what he or she said and, if necessary, to make minor corrections. Indeed, our own Standing Order No. 248(2) states and I quote; “Every member shall have an opportunity to correct the draft verbatim report of his or her contribution, but not so as to alter the substance of what the Hon. Member actually said.”"
