It had issues to do with the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources and the Office of the Vice-President and Home Affairs. Therefore, it was referred to the Prime Minister’s (PM) office. However, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am aware that the PM can refer a Question back to any other Ministry. I was informed this morning that this question was referred back to our Ministry. It was not properly communicated to my Ministry. Even if it was done, it required a lot of consultation. Therefore, I seek the indulgence of this House that we be given one week to make sure that I properly consult with the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, and the Ministry Public Health and Sanitation."}
