I thank you for a very well-reasoned judgment, but I would also want to step back a little bit and look at the fundamental issues surrounding the sugar issue that has refused to die. I do not see it dying any time soon. Our rules would always ask us to bring such a Motion within a time period of six months. It is very good and we have to follow it. But I thought this is one of those exceptional and extraneous matters that ought to have given further attention to this House to relook into. As you just correctly said, once a committee has failed to proceed with a report, it becomes functusofficio, which means dead. So, it cannot be resurrected to handle a similar issue."}
