    "content": "Very briefly Hon. Speaker. I was just amazed at the load of work that is being held by the Lands Committee, and that is lined up for consideration. I think they deserve applause. It is a lot of work. The Liaison Committee needs to do what we used to do. The Committees, given the amount of work they do, need to have the weight of the budget allocated to them. It needs to go as per the weight of work because I imagine a situation as we are today, there is a lot of “cannot do” or “cannot allow you to do because of funds”. There may be some of our Committees which are not handling sensitive issues like those of Lands Committee and wider mandate like the one of the Departmental Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations, where there are real issues, but there is constant assertion that there is no budget, which is true. We cannot create money where there is no money, but this Liaison Committee needs to re- examine itself."
