    "content": "PROCESSING OF THE BUDGET POLICY STATEMENT 2017 Hon. Senators, before we proceed to the next order, I have a Communication on the processing of the Budget Policy Statement 2017. As you may be aware, Section 25 of the Public Finance and Management Act requires the National Treasury to prepare and submit the Budget Policy Statement to Parliament by the 15th February, each year. You may also note that the General Elections are scheduled to be held in August, 2017 and as such, the electioneering period will have an impact on the 2017/2018 budget process. Arising from this, the National Treasury after consultation with stakeholders, including relevant Committees of Parliament, has now submitted the Budget Policy Statement together with other related documents to Parliament for consideration. For our case, these were laid on the Table this afternoon. In this regard"
