¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I also seek a clarification from the Hon. Leader of the House. As I understand, Sectoral Oversight Committees commenced in 2015. Their Chair is not the Minister, whereas in Ministry Advisory Committees, the Minister chairs. There is a significant difference. Particularly, Sectoral Oversight Committees scrutinize Ministers’ actions and their Ministries. I urge that they not be invalidated and that they continue.
