    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in saying that the Office of the Clerk should be able to help. I am aware that two petitioners from my county presented a petition to the Senate and they were told that the format they used was not correct and they were assisted in correcting the mistakes including the format. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on several occasions, you have committed petitions to my Committee, the Senate Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, and our duty in some of those situations has been advising the petitioners the approach and areas that they should focus on. I therefore, think that there are two ways about it if the petition has found its way to the Chair. If you were to direct it to a committee, one of the responsibilities of that committee would probably be to address that preliminary issue, and if need be, report to the House on that particular preliminary issue before they get into the substance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the issue ought to have been sorted out by the Clerk’s Office. However, since it is on the Floor of the House, the committee that it shall be committed to will deal with that preliminary issue before they get to the substance."
