Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas there is a lot of interest in the suggestion by the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, I may have a different opinion unless we consider changing the very Constitution that has given us a lot of trouble. If you look at the Constitution, Article 109(5), Article 114(1) and (3) tell us how a money Bill should be handled and the definition of the same.
