    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As I said, mine is different. You know, we have Members of this House who have been given responsibility either as chairs, vice-chairs or ordinary members of committees. Maybe the Leader of the Majority Party, yourself and the leadership of this House, would like to give direction on where to draw the line between committee business and conflict of interest. Where do you stop if you have been given an opportunity to, for example, Chair the Departmental Committee on Education and Research? We know we have several Members of this House who are also members of unions. At what point do you differentiate between being a union member, a secretary general and a member of that committee? We know labour issues and committees. If I am the Chair of the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity, and I am again seen to be the person separating this nation, trotting from one church to the other and going to media houses speaking on the same, I would ask where we differentiate between conflict of interest and the responsibility as a Member of Parliament."
