Accordingly, I direct that the four Bills be read a First Time during the next sitting of the House. Paragraph (2) of Standing Order 143 provides that – “Following First Reading, the Speaker shall, within reasonable time, pronounce his or her opinion contemplated under Article 114 (2) of the Constitution\". The opinion envisioned under Standing Order No.143(2) is a pronouncement by the Speaker, as to whether a Bill originating in the Senate is a ‘Money Bill’ in the terms of Article 114 of the Constitution. In this regard, I direct that after First Reading, the Bills be referred to the Parliamentary Budget Office to offer advice that will enable the Speaker to form the opinion contemplated under Standing Order No.143(2). Thereafter, I shall guide the House accordingly on how to proceed with the consideration of the said Bills. What is your point of order, Leader of the Majority Party?"
