¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order.

¶ 02 Mr. Speaker, about one and a half months ago, a large number of MPs signed and submitted a motion to appoint a Parliamentary Select Committee to ensure the independence of the judiciary. To date, it has not even been included in the Order Book. This delay is extremely unfortunate.
