    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I refer to your first communication and appreciate the ruling that you have made in relation to the document mentioned by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I do not intend to challenge the ruling but I only want to note that this is a milestone ruling and it will go down on record to be referred in all other rulings in future. To a certain extent, it appears to have affected certain aspects of the Standing Orders which require that the burden of proof or responsibility for accuracy rests with the person uttering the document. You have taken the extra responsibility of cross-checking through the website and other areas to determine the accuracy of the document uttered by the Minister. I do not know to what extent it has, therefore, shifted that burden from the person uttering to your office also, and whether you will henceforth extend the same consideration to other hon. Members who, because of the circumstances, will be forced to mention electronically transmitted documents. Therefore, I want to welcome that ruling and expect a clarification, especially in relation to that."
