    "content": "Secondly, I have also agonized on this. Execution lies outside this legislature because we do not execute but legislate. When a Member asks a question, he or she expects that the Executive wing will make certain responses. I have agonized over this and, in my view, it is not in order for a Chair or a committee to purport to have all the answers that would come from the Executive wing. The precedent could be that I can a be a “mister know-it-all” and if questions come before the House I quickly give an answer and that closes the matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to reopen your ruling but it is something that I beg that you consider for the sake of this House. We must avoid a situation where we use committees to shield the Executive or prevent the House from querying the actions of the Executive."
