Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do appreciate the difficult situation that these new structures present to the Treasury. But I serve on the Budget Committee and we got communication today from the Chair of the Budget Committee that these matters have not been resolved. The Chair of the Budget Committee called a meeting at 10.00 a.m. today to discuss these matters with the Minister for Finance, the CRA and the Transitional Authority.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just to inform the honourable Chair that, indeed, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) did, through a letter to the Chair of the Budget Committee, give its recommendations to the Parliamentary Budget Committee. So, the proposal has already come to the Budget Committee. It is not that we disagree with the Minister. The issue is that there has to be that consultation following the proposals from the CRA and Transition Authority. If he has gone beyond the requirement, we will be very happy. But these are critical constitutional institutions and they must be part of the ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you would recall that on Thursday, the Speaker had stopped me from tabling some Papers and giving notice to the Motion. I had sought your indulgence to do this late and you were kind enough to accede. I wish to go ahead and do that without your permission.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I thank His Excellency the President for his support to the constitutional review process. I have been fortunate, on behalf of this House, to lead both the review of the Constitution and the implementation. In both processes, the President, Office of the President, the Prime Minister and the Office of the Prime Minister have been exceptionally co-operative. Most times, this House has not had much co-operation from the Ministers. But the President and the Prime Minister have been exceptionally co-operative as far as the implementation of the Constitution has been concerned. Indeed, a number of times, ...
