Before we return to the orders of the day, I would like to clarify a ruling I made under Item 9, petitions. Mr. Arngna'naaq was explaining his petition. I ruled at the time that only the title was allowed.
I will read Rule 57(2): "A Member may present a petition from his place in the House during the daily routine under the item 'Petitions.' He shall endorse his name thereon and confine himself to a statement of the petition, the number of signatures and the material allegations. In no case shall such a Member occupy more than five minutes in so doing, unless by permission of the Assembly upon question put."
I was in error, and I apologize to Mr. Arngna'naaq. At the next opportunity when Item 9 comes up in the order paper, Mr. Arngna'naaq will have an opportunity to complete his statement.
---Applause
