    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I do not want to go to the background as it has been covered very well. The issue is this: We are all Hon. Members and all of you are eligible to be members of APNAC. We are of the opinion that as much as the Office of Standards and Ethics must be maintained, we have a problem in actual enforcement of some of these issues. We cannot have somebody being an inspector, a policeman and a prefect. The issue of ethics and standards is something all of us must deal with in our own consciousness. To have a prefect who is outside Parliament to do investigation is irrelevant. The Clerk’s Office and the Powers and Privileges Committee already have facilities to do all the investigation they need. We are of the opinion that as Parliamentarians, we must maintain our dignity and ethics. Therefore, bringing somebody else here to do the job is admitting that we are not ethical and we need policing. Thank you."
