That is why the Chair had said that it will make a ruling on this issue. That ruling is still pending.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member is stating is correct. I just said it was on non-performing loans which included account-opening forms, know your customers status and movement of funds.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, the circular to accountants, which falls under my docket, has been prepared but unfortunately, the Permanent Secretary was not in today. By 2nd January, 2013, when we resume, we will have the circular duly signed. As far as the CDF money is concerned, there are still a few gentlemen left and I am one of them.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Procedural Motion. The reason why there has been delay is because there have been extensive and intensive consultations but everything has been agreed upon. Again, we do not have much time, therefore, I find the Motion in order that we reduce the period to enable us debate this issue sometime next week. I second.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I rise to second this Procedural Motion, this is basically to enable us to debate this issue. As I said, the reason why there has been a delay is because of the consultations that were required and, therefore, these Bills are not being sneaked in. Even for the others, because of lack of time, that is why publications period is even being reduced. I, therefore, second.
