    "content": " How can a fact of life be unparliamentary? Unless the Leader of the Majority Party is indisposed. Hon. Speaker, I have said that, as a Member, you cannot turn again and say that you are a Nominated Member and participate in the same discussion. It cannot be. You may be well instructed by the TSC or by another employer to come and present as a witness before a committee. If you come to present as a witness, you will give the evidence. You will be interrogated and then go. You cannot continue to participate. I am aware of this because in the profession I come from, even when I have to give up my mind, I have to reflect on whether I am going to take a case or not. I must be sure that I am not seized of documents or information that I have got, by way of privilege to affect my judgement on a particular issue concerning a client. That is what judges and magistrates also do. If they are in a position of privilege in which they have certain crucial information that will affect their judgement on a particular issue, they recuse themselves.
