• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: I support this Motion and commend the Committee on Finance and Budget. It is very effective. It is doing very technical work. Whenever I listen to the Chairman and the Vice-Chairman although I tend to listen more to the Chairman and the Minority Whip, they have done an extremely good work.
