Now Sir, I have come to understand that there is some sentimental objection to the use of the word ‘ruler’. I am prepared to yield to that sentiment and what I therefore propose is that the House should accept this amendment for the moment and leave the matter to the Drafting Committee to find a better word to replace the word ‘ruler’. Otherwise the whole of the article would have to be unnecessarily held over for no other reason except that we cannot find at the moment a better word to substitute for the word ‘ruler’.
