    "content": "The reason for that is because your last sentiments were very important. To me, from what has transpired, the RBC should bring to us a Motion in a more clear and proper manner with greater consultation between both sides of the leadership, so that we do not look awkward. The reason I am saying this is because I know one side of the political divide can vote and we will defeat the other side, but that will not present the kind of leadership we would wish to have for the sake of the select committee. My argument is that this a committee that will preside over matters related to impropriety in usage of public resources. If it appears as though the composition is procured in a manner showing that one part of the House was fraudulently procured or improper consultation was done – like it has already happened on the question that there is too much controversy – then we will be watering down the stature and the legitimacy of the institution not just as a House, but also as a committee to perform its functions going forward. Therefore, I request members who are here to allow us to adjourn the debate with an intention of the RBC going for further consultations to come back with a Motion that is more agreed on and uniting the House. For the reasons that I did not get a chance to consult anyone on the other side, I would like to ask the Senate Majority Whip, Sen. Elachi, to second the said Motion."
