    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Today, it may turn out to be an important day because a number of fundamental issues have been raised. Sen. Orengo started by questioning whether the President should bring an amendment instead of a reservation. That is already a fundamental issue. I and other Members were of the view that the President’s reservations could be in the form of suggestions or in the form of an amendment. That being the case, in order for Parliament to reject the President’s suggestions or amendments or whatever it is, we need two-thirds, which we did not raise. The fact that there may have been an argument whether the vote was taken, a decision should be made to make us move forward. If I recall correctly, the Chair who was presiding over the Committee has not officially told you that he has withdrawn. He just stopped there. In my view, we should give a chance to the Chair so that we can know which way to go. Since we have legal minds in the House, we can find a way of continuing with Standing Order No.9 and proceed. In the meantime, the Chair can give the report."
