    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I chaired the House Business Committee which handled this matter. The truth of the matter, and some Members are here and can bear me out, is that in view of the only business we had, the Committee decided that we would have this matter this afternoon. However, Mr. Keynan said that he needed confirmation that his Members would be available today this afternoon. Therefore, he was tasked by the House Business Committee to meet with the Clerk to confirm that position and put it on the Order Paper. However, it was decided that if that position will be that those Members will not be there, then we would have the Finance Bill, even though we were aware that we could have a problem in view of the absence of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Therefore, we decided that if it turns out that those Members would not be there, then the Assistant Minister for Finance who, for purposes of this House, is the Minister, would move the Finance Bill. That is the true position. There was a quorum."
