¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, the Hon. Leader of the House invited suggestions. I wish to remind that under Standing Order 111(10) regarding Sectoral Oversight Committees, nominations by the Committee of Selection must reflect the number of Members in parties and independent groups. We kindly ask that a similar approach be considered for the Parliamentary Business Committee as well, respecting the position once taken by the current President.
