    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am getting extremely worried. Is it really in order for Hon. Senators to call a decision of the Supreme Court as trashing a petition? I do not think that the Supreme Court in law could ever trash anything. Let us avoid using inflammatory language in this House, especially when it comes to a very august institution like the Supreme Court. We can disagree on decisions of the Supreme Court, but we cannot in any way say that the Supreme Court “trashes” anything. That is an extremely irreverent and irresponsible reference to our legal system. The law is very clear on independent commissions like the IEBC and you cannot bend the law otherwise. Would it be in order for the Vice Chairperson to go back and consult the relevant Government agencies, to state whether they are aware that the IEBC has the powers to determine where people vote anywhere on this earth? If the Government wants the IEBC to do anything, the commission can then undertake such a responsibility, asking the Government to help rather than the Government directing the commission to do something."
