Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As has already been mentioned by a number of the Members, in fact, clause 2 is a very specific instance or a specific example of a power that already rests in the Legislative Assembly. The Legislative Assembly has the power, has the right to expel Members for such reasons as it sees fit, provided that it does not attempt to limit the ability of the Member to run again and be re-elected. That's how it does exist in the Legislative Assembly at the moment.
