    "content": "Hon. Speaker, not really. I do not think so; that is not my intention. However, listening to the Leader of the Majority Party he makes a lot of sense. I wanted us to engage our mind on some point here. If the uniqueness of 2013 was because it was an election year then we will not obey this particular provision in law; therefore, the Leader of the Majority Party needs to bring it for amendment. This is because all the years that this Post-Election Economic and Fiscal Policy Statement will be required will be after an election. Therefore, if the uniqueness of 2013 was because of election then even the next one we will be required after the 2017 election will still face the same problem. So, if the Government is finding it difficult – this is not a constitutional provision, but a provision in an Act of Parliament – to comply with that provision, the honorable thing to do is for it to ask for an amendment.
