Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also support this Motion. However, I would like to make a few remarks. It is evident that Members of this House have complained about inequity in the distribution of resources by this Ministry. Equitable distribution does not mean equal distribution. A framework July 19, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2229 was prepared for the last three years by a former Minister for Roads and Public Works.
