    "content": "Distinguished Senators, I think the most important point that requires my response is in this report of our committee. If you go to page 24 (iii), it says:- “The Committee notes that the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) uses a very conservative revenue growth rate in the computation of the equitable revenue share. Actual revenue realization seems to differ from the growth used in BPS. Average actual performance for the last four years is about 13 to 14 per cent thus the rate of growth of revenue that should be used at the minimum to compute the equitable share for 2016/2017 should be 13 per cent”. Seriously speaking, all that I am doing is lifting this observation so that what we observed is captured in the recommendations. I want to urge the Committee Chair to change his mind and support because this is what he led us in observing in the Committee and our drafters failed to capture it in the recommendations. With those few remarks, I move that the Motion be supported by this House. In view of the fact that it is a Motion concerning counties, allow me under Standing Order No. 54 (3) to request that voting on this matter be deferred."
