"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, this is a serious matter and it should not be cheapened the way Hon. Kamket is trying to do. Many documents are brought and tabled in this House and we forget about them. Being able to debate them will be a step forward for the purpose of a more substantive and structured engagement on the debt question, such as what I have proposed in the Bill. It will be important for us to take stock of where we are, how we are doing and how the debt will affect our future borrowing activities. This is not a partisanship matter in politics but a matter of sound economic management. For those who think that they are protecting any side by resisting discussion on this, they are doing a disfavour to them. You cannot light a fire under your mattress and feel safe because you do not feel the heat. That will be a big mistake. So, I hope that in line with the instruction that you gave, this Bill will be tabled. I know that we may not have enough time to finish it, but let us debate it. It will give us a broader insight of where we are and what is happening. Then we can give guidance from whichever position to support and improve the management of the economy. There is nothing sinister about that. I find that defensiveness to be counter-productive."
