    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, what has been happening is that our Committees sit, go through a very tough time in very short timelines, give recommendations. However, the recommendations of the Senate are always ignored. This is because there are separate recommendations by the National Assembly and the Senate. We even realized that sometimes we get different briefs from the Budget Office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since you are saying the relationship between you and your counterpart is much better--- Ideally, it should be one report that goes to both Houses and the Senate and National Assembly inputs their recommendations. However, that notwithstanding, could you consider a way through which Parliament as envisaged in the PFM Act and the law actually gives one report on the BPS and one brief by the Budget Office. That then cannot be disregarded as has been done previously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during your talks, just consider how we can do one report either by way of one Motion that we both pass, or by consolidating the two different reports from the Senate and the National Assembly and passing it to the National Treasury. It is a very important aspect that many times, we ignore."
