    "content": "Lastly, it is important to notify Members that many of the questions we are confronted with are about the status of these Bills. I am tabling this Report for each Member to know the status of their Bill. We conclude with Bills but that is not the end of the process. I think the Hon. Members were taken through the flow of Bills during the induction. Some of the many legislative proposals are still pending with Departmental Committees, the BAC having finalised with them. It is important for Members to note that when the Speaker refers these Bills to the Parliamentary Budget Office, they have an opportunity to scrutinise and determine whether they are Money Bills or not, after which they relay that information to the Office of the Speaker before it is recommitted to the Parliamentary Budget Office for analysis and presentation. As we proceed for the short recess, we have finalised scrutiny of all the proposals that have been analysed and submitted to the Committee by the Parliamentary Budget Office. I give the House assurance that neither the Chair nor the BAC sits on any Bill as we are often accused. We have expedited analyses of all Bill and I encourage Members to continue appearing before the Committee as and when they are invited. It becomes very inconveniencing when we invite a Member and he is not available. We have to reschedule a meeting as a consequence. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
