I am trying to justify the importance of KNUT as it relates to the issue of absence of leadership. I passed by their office during lunch and saw that there were so many goons around that office. Hon. Sossion cannot even access it.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Sessional Papers are very important Papers in many jurisdictions that inform legislation. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Education and Research and the Ministry of Education for coming up with a Sessional Paper. This has been done from an empirical study perspective. It says that the shoe-wearer knows where it pinches. These are the people in the profession. After they put it into practice, they realise where the gaps are.

As the Leader of the Majority Party has put it, the Finance Bill plays a critical role because it sets out measures of raising revenue that will fund the Budget. So, it is indeed important that we do this for purposes of living within the timeframe. Thank you. I second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the Chair of Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning but the key objective of this is not necessarily start-up business because we have some people who have been in this business whether it is fumigation or catering for years. Start-up business is a business which has one, two or three years. I think the objective here is in terms of the principle of materiality since the amount of money that you are likely to realise from this is going to be a little bit insignificant. Also, when you look ...
