"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think we really need to look at the wording of this Standing Order. I am just wondering. For example, if you are the chair of the Committee on Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library, I am wondering whether such a chair would be so busy to a level that they cannot really participate in another committee. I think the wording needs to be changed. Like it or not, there are such committees. For example, if you are the chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, you do not even have time to sit in another committee but I imagine if you are in what we call Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities and such committees, I think we really need to be careful. Otherwise, we will have members who will be chairs but they do not have much. So, the wording needs to be changed. I think we need to put an exception."
