    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, there is a precedent which we have in the House that when you are a Chair, you are unable, without a written consent of your Members, to withdraw an amendment because the Bill has gone through public participation. A chair of a committee is here on behalf of his committee. If we allow chairs of committees to withdraw amendments here, it is going to be very dangerous and we Members of committees, have no way of making sure that our suggestions in the committee reach the House. So, the Chair should not feel intimidated. We know what to do. We may side with him in some instances and differ with him in others. To allow a chair to withdraw amendments is not good in terms of procedure."
