"content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg your indulgence for a minute or two. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion because the idea of it may be good, but the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade is already seized of this issue. Even as we speak, we are busy engaging the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Why would Parliament want to form another Committee to do the same work which is already being done by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade? We appreciate Mr. Keynan for bringing it up. However, I think the right way is that there is a committee which is dealing with this issue even as we speak. I think we are doing double work for something which is not right. I beg your indulgence that this matter needs consideration before this Motion can go on. We are not opposing the Motion; rather we are opposing the procedure because it is meant to usurp the powers of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want you to help us on that as Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade."
