    "content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to state the following: That CRA is following a procedure that is clearly thought out in the Constitution. It is true that their initial proposals are well within the public domain but that does not mean that they have not submitted their initial recommendations to Parliament through the Budget Committee. The Budget Committee has initiated a process of engaging the stakeholders, including the general public. On Friday, Saturday and Monday, we are expecting that the Chair will take the chance to invite Members of Parliament as well as the general public to appear before the Budget Committee in various stations, so that they can make their recommendations. So, CRA was under duty to give a frame of reference for hon. Members and the public to begin giving their initial proposals and then Parliament, through the Budget Committee, is going to do a one or two day workshop to receive further input from even stakeholders and other bodies, with a view to refining the initial formula which will then formally find its way to this House for debate, amendments and adoption. At that point, hon. Members will eventually be able to take up what is necessary to become the final."
