According to him, the language of Parliament\u2014shaped by history, tradition, and specialized procedures\u2014must be understood by the very citizens Parliament serves.<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker highlighted the need to demystify parliamentary terms such as <em>Order Paper<\/em>, <em>Votes and Proceedings<\/em>, <em>Privilege<\/em>, <em>Hansard<\/em>, and the often-misinterpreted expression <em>\u201cHear, hear.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He expressed appreciation to the author for dedicating the first book to him.
