    "content": "to appear before committees. The Leader of the Majority Party has just tabled a Supplementary Budget which is supposed to be processed by the end of the month. I know the CSs will be available to come and answer questions to do with the Supplementary Budget. But when it comes to Questions and issues that have been raised by Members, they are busy and not available. I do not know how we are going to proceed because Hon. Ichung’wah here, who is my good friend, has said that we need to give a report by next week. The same CS is supposed to appear before us before next week. I do not know how it is going to be possible if he has said that he will only be available on 27th November 2019. So, I am just saying some of the issues and tribulations that we are going through. In fact, I am happy that the Statement about milk has not been directed to my Committee. It is because of the same challenges. I am happy that my good friend, the Chair for the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock was very categorical that the issue should be prosecuted by one Committee. Moving forward, we do not want to have two committees prosecuting a matter. It is because, if you remember, I was left alone on the issue of sugar. I wish him all the best. We will try to chip in on the issues they will want us to. However, the point is how we proceed if the CSs are not willing to come forward and respond to issues that are pertinent to Members and the public. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
