    "content": "committee. On page 10, the Committee made the suggestion that Standing Order 174 be amended except as the House may otherwise resolve, on the recommendation of the Committee on Selection of reasons to state the limits a chairperson or vice-chairperson can serve. I would suggest that we have the House leadership committed so much. Today people can be magnanimous enough to not take slots in committees. How about the future? You may get a Chief Whip who may want to be chairman of a committee. I would say that we amend it since the Standing Order is for posterity. Let us also include the leadership of the House. We should not just limit it to the chairpersons and their vice-chairpersons. I thank the Committee on their very good conclusions on the various Standing Orders that they have observed. About the Catering and Health Club Committee, many people would think it was just meant for Members’ social life. No. This is about this House’s membership facilities. All the facilities at the Members’ Gym are dilapidated. I want a scenario where Members are treated as officials of this country. We do not want to be fed on food that is stale. Many of the Members are getting stomach upsets because we are being fed on stale food. This is a good committee. Let the Members who will sit in the Committee do what is just for us, as Members. With those remarks, I support."
