    "content": "We will not keep rewriting the Standing Orders. The provisions of Standing Order No.227(2) relating to the 60-day period within which to consider a petition will apply with all the necessary modifications, if any, that this House may give. Unless an exemption has been granted through a resolution of the House, when 60 days elapse, the petitions which have been referred to Committees also lapse. I made that clear last year. Petitions are not supposed to stay for years on end in the Committees. That is the only way we can transact our business. Looking at the Order Paper today, the Motion that will be moved as Order No.8 is because we are trying to address some of those issues about backlog with regard to legislative proposals. I, therefore, urge the Committees to also expedite and work within the timelines provided for in the Standing Orders. Member for Endebess, do you want to comment?"
