    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you had given me the chance to speak earlier, this problem would have been solved. To err is human. When the Chair was speaking, having noted that the amendments or reservations that the President had proposed had been rejected in this House by a vote of 17 to 13, it is a fact that any vote taken while those same Members were in this House could not be negated. It was not possible to negate it. When the Chair heard the “Nays” in a voice vote higher than the “Ayes”, he assumed that the “Nays” were confirming what had been there and mistakenly said that the “Ayes” have it. If you ask the Chair why he stood up and made a statement that is not accommodated in the Standing Orders is precisely because what he did when he was chairing was also not accommodated in the Standing Orders. The “Nays” had a bigger voice vote than the “Ayes” yet he said something contrary to that. To err is human."
