    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I start by commending you. If you allow me, may I make a few comments on the ruling that you have made. Article 115(1)(b) is very clear and explicit. It starts by saying that the Bill will be referred to Parliament. The interpretation of Parliament now has become very clear. Parliament refers to both the National Assembly and the Senate. That is very clear within our specific circles. Also, in Article 4, Parliament, after considering the President’s reservations, will have both the Houses vote. It gives a very high threshold of two-thirds which is very clear. Therefore, the fact that the National Assembly can even think about surpassing the Senate is very bad. First, it will set precedence, because this is the first Presidential Memorandum that we are receiving. Therefore, it is important that the procedure is followed clearly and to the letter. Secondly, you also indicated that this is outlined in their Standing Orders. Standing Order No.155 of the National Assembly indicates exactly what the procedure The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
