If you remember, the Minister promised before this House that the Statement would be ready today - Tuesday. But I received a casual call from one of his Assistant Ministers saying that they were not ready, but for the record, I really would like to protest very strongly because the Ministerial Statement has far-reaching implications for the sugar-cane farmer. I did not ask for the Ministerial Statement casually for information. There were a number of actionable things that I required from the Minister."}
