    "content": "I will not allow debates or comments. Suffice it to say, your first prayer is veering into a very dangerous area. You pray that the National Assembly compels. You are putting the House in a very precarious situation because that is a petition. The Committee will make whatever findings, send them to the petitioner and table the Report for comments not for adoption. Our legal department should be very careful with some of these prayers because you are putting the House in a situation it should not be in. The House can resolve something but in petitions, the House cannot compel. Fortunately, the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands is here. We should be very careful when making recommendations of that nature. How do we enforce them? We are not a court of law. It is very dangerous. The legal department has not done its work properly. The Office of the Clerk is directed to ensure that in future, we do not have petitions couched in that kind of language. The Petition is referred to the Departmental Committee on Lands. Let us move to the next Order."
