    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Chairman. I strongly disagree with this amendment. I rise to oppose. The word “oppose” had disappeared for a minute. I rise to oppose this amendment for his simple reason: The way I read this amendment is that it is supposed to secure a speaker to the point that you no longer need to care about getting the legitimacy and confidence of your assembly as you conduct yourself. It is not good if we created that kind of situation even here in the House, in the National Assembly, where you as the Deputy Speaker knows that you cannot be affected by the membership no matter what you do. When you raise the threshold from two-thirds to 75 per cent, what you have done is secure that speaker to the point where he needs to keep 25 per cent of the assembly on his side and he can do whatever he wants. I strongly oppose this. I think it is mischievous as well."
