House Chair, let me first clarify issues. Yes, this is an interim arrangement following the court decision. While we cannot rush through developing Rules that will deal with this matter specifically, it was noted that there was a need to have some mechanism to allow for members to be able to introduce private members' legislation in the House. Hence we have this.
Are we noting this? Are we doing this? That is what the hon Ambrosini was asking. What we are doing is adopting. That is why I stood up and said that we were adopting this, as a mechanism to be able to allow members to introduce legislation currently, and directly in the House. We do not have anything that allows members to introduce legislation. If we don't, we will still be standing with the proposals that were referred to the Committee on Private Members' Legislative Proposals and Special Petitions.
Hence it is important for us to move now, while we still have an opportunity and while we are still developing the Rules that are going to be extensively consulted upon, in order to be able even to cover the matters that the court has raised. We cannot rush to get there because the court's decision was quite extensive and we have to go through it and understand what we are required to do.
In the meantime, we cannot fold our arms and not allow members to introduce Bills in this House. Hence, we have to move and adopt. That is why we brought this Report to the House for adoption so that the mechanisms can be put in place.
