That principle applies to parliamentary work, especially to the fact that if we start our work immediately, that is, if we begin debating proposals, and then we realize that they are not properly coordinated, we cannot backtrack.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5722376\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A very simple solution is to suspend the business of the House until you make your decision. </p>",
