    "content": "I just want to mention a few issues that have caught my attention and seem progressive. One is the issue of enhancing the mandate of the Parliamentary Budget Office to ensure that, truly, the role of Parliament as a budget-making body is enshrined in the law and not to just simply rubberstamp what has come from the Executive. Of course, the requirement that they can seek information from any entity at any given time is most welcome. That is because we have had so many challenges, even at the Committee level, in getting information from the various Government agencies, ministries and the rest. It is because there has not been any strong legislative framework to compel those agencies to provide Parliament that information. Even 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."
