    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order on a serious matter of procedure. We cannot go on with this! I want to remind the Chair that the attempt to amend this Motion is being done unprocedurally and even if he purports to move it, it will not be done properly before the House. Why is that? There are three reasons. One, is that today, 21st December, 2010, is a Tuesday. According to the Rules of this House, a Private Member’s Motion like this one can only be moved on a Wednesday morning. I know that when this Motion was first moved last week, it was on a Thursday. But that was after a decision had been made by the House Business Committee that we so do. The second reason why I think it is not properly before the House is that this will be the first time, in my eight years in Parliament, to see an amendment Motion being done through a point of order. I have not seen that for eight years and I would like the Chair to tell us whether it is possible to move an amendment to a Motion through a point of order. The third reason why I think that this Motion is not properly before the House is that you have cited direction from the Leader of Government Business. I am a regular attendant of meetings of the House Business Committee in this Parliament. I am a Member of the House Business Committee. I am aware of the procedure. The Leader of Government Business Committee merely communicates to this House the position of the House Business Committee. Subsequent to your ruling, the House Business Committee is yet to sit in order to direct the Leader of House Business Committee to so say. I beg you and invite you to find that this Motion is not properly before the House."
