THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: This is why I said I am going to study the matter…
HON. GONESE: We just need clarity because it appears to me that the facts seem to be clear.
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Hon. Gonese, I am aware of what transpired and I am going to study the matter and make a ruling.
HON. GONESE: The reason why we got confused Madam Speaker is, you made reference to something under the courts …
THE HON. DEPUTY SPEAKER: Please may you sit down, I am going to study the matter and make a ruling.
HON. GONESE: I am going to sit down but I just wanted you to have the import of what you are saying. Before I resume my sit Madam Speaker, I was going to suggest that a ruling be made to refer the matter to the Committee of Standing Rules and Orders. They need to study the matter because it is prima facie; it appears to be clear and my understanding is that when a matter is clear, it is referred to the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders. This is what I thought should be your course of action.
