    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for his efficiency on this matter. But I do not quite agree with him that it is efficiency. It is compliance with the law. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Chair has just pointed out the position and I want to build on to that. Indeed, it is not just a matter of procedure that we have this laid before the House; it calls for public input. We look forward to engaging the Minister so as to find a way of securing that. I would also want to point out that much as the Minister claims “efficiency”, there are certain requirements in law on the part of the Minister, particularly the pre-election fiscal and economic report, that are due ahead of the election. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also a requirement that we have the Division of Revenue Bill, as well as the Allocation of Revenue Bill. In the name of “efficiency” and take-off, these things are urgently needed here. Indeed, if Treasury was efficient, they should have prioritized this. Maybe in his response, the Minister, needs to include that."
