    "content": "chairmen of Departmental Committees, but not all committees. That gives you about 12 or 13 members. I was saying so because of what is happening today. When the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade tried to recommend amendments to the Finance Bill, the Budget and Appropriations Committee rejected those recommendations. Why does that kind of thing happen? What is the mandate of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade? We know that these are committees of the House, and are provided for in Standing Orders. However, we are saying that there is something which is not functionally correct. There is a loophole which gives powers to the members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee to allocate themselves money and leave the 300 of us without monies in our constituencies. That is what we are protesting. We will not allow it. Therefore, if I am given time, I will provide the HANSARD tomorrow because I have been on this issue three years in a row."
