"content": "Again, it will be noted that from time to time, including yesterday, I have encouraged Committees to form sub-committees. It is not because of lack of technical advice from the staff. The technical advice is there. Unfortunately, Committees take too long when they have to sit as an entire Committee. However, if Committees could agree to form sub-committees, and especially when you are considering legislative proposals from your colleagues, it will help to fast-track the businesses. Again, it is not fair for the Speaker to appear to want to police Committees. However, in fairness, Committees have a duty and obligation to Members to ensure that they do not inadvertently delay business of Members. If you are going to come up with whatever resolution, then present it to the House. Of course, we are alive to the provisions of Article 114 that, if it is a money Bill, then the House may only proceed after the advice of the relevant Committee which, in this case, is the Budget and Appropriations Committee. That way, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
