"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to strongly object to the assertions by the hon. Member that a Cabinet Memo is just a piece of paper. I want to assure you that a Cabinet Memo is a very serious document. Before it goes to Cabinet, a lot of effort and input has been realized. Once the Cabinet makes a decision, Treasury has no alternative, but to provide for funds. So, once the Cabinet makes the decision, I want to assure this House that we will budget for those funds. As of now, I cannot set aside anything because nothing has been approved. The moment it is done, whether through supplementary budget or the Budget, once the Cabinet indicates the timeline, say, immediately, then I will come to this House. This House is no longer a Budget ratification House; it is a Budget-making House. So, every payment must come to this House for approval."
