"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for the opportunity to say two things: First, I was equally skeptical about the marginalization this House has been suffering in the hands of our younger brothers and sisters in the other House. In your ruling, you have indicated that you will communicate to Treasury the fact that they should not act on the regulations until this House approves. I want to plead with you to ensure that in the communication you will issue, you will capture the fact that we have five calendar weeks and not 14 days. This is to ensure that they are aware that they should not take any precipitate action earlier than five calendar weeks, not 14 days. They should be aware that it is what the law requires. Secondly, I want to plead with you to share the same Communication with the Attorney-General (AG). There is a tendency and we are correctly apprehensive that Treasury might misadvise itself to do certain things. We should as a House share with the AG the same communication so that in the event that the Treasury seeks to misinform the office of the AG, your communication will also be there, so that the AG shares the responsibility."
