The matter was referred to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs for consideration.</p>\n<p>No process is more responsible and more deeply rooted in democracy. There is no point in pretending otherwise, when it is quite obvious how the process worked. It is perfectly clear, transparent and respectful of our democratic reform.</p>",
