"content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, as much as it is deeply regrettable and I really commiserate with the Member for having stayed for that long, this is not an issue that is unique to him. We have heard many Members with similar complaints. Our Standing Orders are very silent on the period that a Committee can take during the pre-publication period of a Bill. The mandate of a Member of Parliament is to do legislation. We are proposing and I have proposed this before that the Procedure and House Rules Committee of this House sets administrative timelines for which a Bill can stay within a Committee for pre-publication. If those timelines are not met because of maybe the Committee’s schedule, any Member should be allowed to have their Bill published."
