    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. What the Chair of the Committee is doing makes sense because he is clarifying the law. I think the Chair owes us an apology because the truth of the matter is that the Chair knows that he did not come to the House to ask for re-committal of this. Sometimes we get fed up when procedure is subverted very clearly. Yesterday I was in the House the whole day and the only issue which came for re- committal was proceedings relating to the Advocates Act. Even though we can see what he is doing makes sense, in good practise, he should just rise to apologise to the House that some procedures were not taken care of. Secondly, he has also moved a further amendment. He should have started with what was before the House, we dispense it of procedurally and then he rises to move the further amendment. This is the procedure. If you are going to have a House where the Leader of Majority goes behind the House and discovers that certain things were not done and then he brings Motions here without following the procedure, we will not have a National Assembly. We will have an assembly for the Leader of the Majority Party. The Chair of the Committee owes us an apology in good faith."
