    "content": "I have heard your views and I want to thank you. I did not think that this would generate much interest. As I said, this was done in good faith because we sat yesterday at the Rules and Business Committee and we reckoned the days. We saw that the reckoning that had been done ending on Monday, 9th November, 2015, were wrong. The days actually end on Saturday. All of you understand the ramifications of anything done outside the period of the 10 days. This is important. I request for your patience and indulgence so that tomorrow I will be able to issue a final communication on this issue. Whatever position we now take, the Special Committee has to give a report by the date that the House decides. However, that cannot be argued. They have to give a report on or before the date that this House adopts under the law, as the date for that purpose. Therefore, the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, we will have further consultations immediately after the rise of the House. We will agree on the way forward so that we can lead the House from the front. Before you start leaving your seats, we have to reorganize the Order Paper, Yesterday we canvassed at great length the issue of Article 115 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.76. As I said, I will deliver a ruling on the same. I consider it an extremely important Constitutional issue and I am still working on the ruling. It will be delivered. It is not ready. It will not be possible to vote on items listed as Order Nos.8 and 9 on the Order Paper before that ruling is made. So, I stand down items listed as Order Nos.8 and 9. I also stand down Order Nos.10, 11 and 12. Those items are to be dealt in the Committee of the Whole and we do not have the necessary threshold. We will go to Order No.13, which is resumed debate on the issue."
