"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, remember that the Supreme Court made an important decision that is of benefit to the Senate. They said with a good Speaker, you can find almost anything and everything that affects devolution. They made reference to security issues. They said that if you are enacting laws on security, it is an issue that touches on devolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, your ruling this afternoon is a statement that reaffirms that Standing Order No.1 should not be a toothless bulldog. It is an order that we should revert to when we have an issue that is not expressly provided for, but can be used to transact good business for the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I applaud you and hope that this opens a new chapter to enable Senators be innovative and ensure that we are defenders of devolution as is expected of us in the 2010 Constitution."
