This is in the public domain. It was even said outside the House. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise as a Member of this Committee to support this Report. I am going to try and stick to ten minutes. It would have been nice to hear the Minister defend himself after we had tackled the Report on the Floor of the House. view
