• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say the same thing. I do not want to engage in the dangerous waters of debating with the Speaker but I would ask the same thing on your ruling, and I thank you for the same, not only applying to this Motion before the House but generally because 24 was not an arbitrary figure. It was actually calculated from a formula. Does it then mean that when we are 46, the 24 is still upheld? Does it mean that when something happens and we are 45, that the same 24 is upheld? view
