    "content": "I have listened to the discourse by the Leader of the Majority Party and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. This is not a true reflection of what we discussed yesterday from 5 p.m. We agreed very clearly that the Clerks would work on it and share with us. It does not preclude me as a Member of Parliament to move my amendments on the Floor of the House. There is no usurpation anywhere by the Chairs of the Committees. Standing Order No.131 is very clear. It calls for a report from the Committee before the commencement of the Committee of the whole House so that what is agreed on is captured very well in the same report. Contentious issues will be captured in the amendments on the Order Paper. My rights cannot be just taken away purely by an exchange on the Floor. Following Standing Order No.131 and to the extent of the money Bill aspect Standing Order No.114, I expressly wrote a letter to the Speaker to ask him to clarify - because it happened to Hon. Abdulswamad during the Energy Bill - to what extent any clause within my amendments has to do with a money Bill so that I make the same presentations before the Budget and Appropriations Committee, as is the tradition of the House. The only letter I received from him said that I should refer those amendments in line with Standing Order No.131. So that we are on the same page, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not know whether you have received the same letter. Are you in receipt of the letter written to me by the Clerk’s Office, so that we can exchange on the same page?"
