    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity. I stand to oppose this Motion in the sense that, as has been said by the Leader of the Minority Party who has just been removed from the House, we cannot legislate in anticipation. When you get Communication, the Leader of the Majority Party will write to you requesting that we have a sitting of the House so that we can come back and sit and deliberate on that matter. If you look at the formation of the Committee on Appointments that is supposed to look into that matter, you will see that it only consists of Jubilee Party members. This is a very important matter. We do not have the National Super Alliance (NASA) members in that Committee. Does that mean that when the matter is committed to a committee only Jubilee members will look into that matter? This is a House of procedure. We must follow the procedure that has been laid down so that we can have the matter dispensed with in an amicable manner. The Leader of the Majority Party is trying to hold the House in abeyance; that it can just sit any day and any time and anything can happen without Members sitting in the Chamber to discuss that matter. The matter that is supposed to be addressed through this Procedural Motion is very important for this country. So, you cannot just commit it to a committee without communicating it to the sitting of the House. For that reason, we need to defeat this Motion so that the House can convene.
