    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for the Communication. The prerogative and responsibility of convening such a Special Sitting rests entirely on the membership of the House. Our Standing Orders are very explicit; they describe that to seek such a sitting, we should at least have 15 Members. My concern is that the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders consulted before convening this session. However, we are short of the required 15 Members. I am not trying to raise a quorum issue because I think they will be coming. My concern is that they should have been the first to arrive. Indeed, we need to later consider our Standing Orders such that if a Senator appends his or her signature as one of the 15 Members, he or she is compelled to attend such a sitting."
