    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to agree with all my colleagues who have spoken before me. However, in the Budget Committee we made certain concrete proposals to the Minister. A Motion was brought to this House to change whatever proposals in terms of Budget that he had given this House. This House approved those resolutions. After the approval of those resolutions, the promise we had from the Minister was that he would include all the Budget Committee proposals into the Printed Estimates. In fact he talked about this in the House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is in the HANSARD. This is the promise. This is the understanding we have from the Budget Committee. Now, first of all we were unhappy when the Vote on Account was brought before the Appropriation Bill. However, that passed and it was a resolution of the House. We expected that the proposals that we had agreed on would be reflected. There is no other way we can know whether or not they have been reflected if the Printed Estimates are not with us. How are we going to debate this matter without the information? I want to agree with my colleagues and request the Chair to prevail upon the Minister to do the right thing, so that the House agrees with the Government. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
