Order of Business.
10:30 am
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
I absolutely agree with that, but the point is that the procedure must be drawn up, I presume by the CPP, which is the group that always does it. As the longest serving member of CPP, I do not want to participate in designing a procedure for impeachment without having the views of all colleagues on all sides. It would be wrong to do so. We are making a mistake here. Let us not make a Government issue out of this. This is our issue to be dealt with by everybody. I would like to hear people's views and to have them taken on board.
I wish to propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that at early stage today this House put time aside in order to discuss a process of impeachment. I hope somebody seconds it because I believe it to be crucial.
