"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important that as Parliament, we, first of all, know that we cannot rubbish a Government document without facts. We are arguing here, we have no facts at all in terms of what happened in 1997 and what happened in 2005/2006. I have given you the facts. It is very important and the whole world is watching us. This Parliament has just gotten new powers in the new Constitution as the one to allocate resources, as the one to discuss the budget but if we are going to be looking at estimates from the point of view, âis it good for my constituency vis-Ă -vis another constituencyâ, we must remember there are 210 constituencies. We must remember there are areas that have been marginalized in the past, there are areas that were marginalized by vagaries of weather like the Coast Province between 2004, 2005, and their poverty levels rose from 62 percent to 70 percent. Because of the E l Nino and the weather, all those things happened. I beg to urge this House to accept that we have this document and to urge that this Motion is thrown out and we then continue with the document that we have on the Table."
