In law we call it obiter dicta; something that is almost nearly irrelevant that was introduced casually by one of the workers or member of staff, not even a Member of the Mediation Committee. I repeat what I have said; that even though we have a problem with the National Assembly, we still have a problem with support staff. This is because this matter has come from the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs, which is supposed to be the support staff of Parliament; similarly, to the Parliamentary Budget Office. I speak this because I am aware that it is the Parliamentary Budget Office that looks at our Bills that we pass here to determine whether they are Money Bills."}
