    "content": "Hon. Junet, before I propose the question, in comparable jurisdictions, as Whips, when we have such technical debates on motions such as budget and appropriations, it is within your competence as the Whips to actually give the Hon. Speaker a few of your preferred sharp shooters who can articulate issues. The Leader of the Majority Party can approach the Chair and tell him, for instance, that on this particular issue, our best economists to articulate the issues includes so and so. We will still give others the chance to contribute, but we will also abide by your opinion as Whips. If on your side you have people who have better knowledge and schooling in economics, accounts and matters relating to budget, the Chair will always give you priority to give one, two or three well-schooled Hon. Members, who can then give better opinion to the House to inform debate. It is entirely up to you to decide how you will assist the Chair. But do not bring lists of your friends. Bring lists of people who add value to debate. Thereafter, we can limit debate to two to three minutes to each Hon. Member to complement what your sharp shooters have already placed on the Floor. This is done in the House of Commons, in Australia, Canada and in the entire Commonwealth jurisdiction. It is not strange to this country."
