    "content": "conclusion and then the Senate comes to a different conclusion yet we are both Parliament. Even the Executive will ask: So, which one do we follow? I was going to suggest that we consider this a matter that would fall under Article 124(2) for establishing a joint committee to really consider it, before appearing to disagree and speak forth to each other, and narrow the areas that the Senate can look at, beforehand, and which ones can they cannot. If that cannot happen, the second option is that, fortunately, Hon. Speaker, you are the Chair of the PSC. Article 127 establishes the Commission for precisely these kinds of matters. In Article 127(6), it is a fundamental function of the PSC to ensure “efficient and effective functioning of Parliament.” And that is an area of efficient and effective function of Parliament. I wanted to suggest that we could adopt either of those two. I would actually prefer the second, so that as an independent constitutional organ, the PSC would then give us guidance on this. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
