I have been very envious of Members who seek Statements in this House and they get answers. Earlier in April, I sought a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. For the last two months, I have just been waiting for answers. The last time I raised the issue was last week, and the Chair of the Committee purported that I was seeking airtime in the House. I believe that I am paid by the taxpayers to speak for my people in this House. I seek your guidance on this matter. I would like the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to respond to that request for a Statement. This is because Members seek Statements in this House and they get them. I do not know what is so special about the issue that I raised, so that I should be asking for the Statement again. If she wants me to repeat the request, I can do that again with your permission."}
