Thank you, hon. Speaker. That request was deliberate so that the Committee will find out whether somebody made a deliberate effort to deny these individuals their rights.

Hon. Speaker, in the Motion by hon. Keynan, we will include that; the Order of the Elder of Golden Heart is the highest in this nation. We have got 349 Members in this House. We need in, every Session, to remove those who are not in as per the Constitution and bring in new blood.
