    "content": "Before the Leader of the Majority Party tables various Papers, let me inform the House that the communication which was requested by several Members on Tuesday is not ready because, as you will appreciate, it entails a number of aspects. It requires a careful consideration of the various issues that were raised by Members, especially the right of citizens to petition Parliament, whether we should amend the Constitution so that they can be petitioning the courts instead of coming to Parliament, and whether the privilege of Members as guaranteed in Article 117 of the Constitution to debate freely here is also being taken away by the Judiciary. Those are all very fundamental issues. The best thing is for us to look at them critically, so that we address all those concerns in a manner that is passionate, keeping in mind always the prevailing and customary traditions in other jurisdictions, as well as the traditions and rulings of past Speakers, more so, on separation of powers and processes."
