"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just want to emphasize the fact that if there is more interaction between the relevant Committees of Parliament and Ministries, we can achieve a lot and we can do it in a very short while. This was a big problem. In fact, it was a crisis. We even challenged the Vote on Account here. However, the fact that we have spend the whole morning and most of this afternoon with the Treasury officials, we have agreed on these numbers and we have solved two problems at once. One was to have the approved Estimates and these are the approved Estimates. At the same time, the need for the Vote on Account has disappeared. At the same time, we have passed the Appropriation Bill. We have done all that today just by that simple exercise. The amount of work we have done as the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade and the Budget Committee is a lot, and we have achieved so much together. I think the Minister really must appreciate the effort we have put in. He has to appreciate. Thank you."
