¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, this is also important. You allowed 15 minutes to answer a very good point relating to Question No. 9. So, allow it for the Opposition as well when we try to ensure that these are looked into. We do not lose any time on this.

¶ 02 I appreciate the precise Answer the Hon. Minister gave. That is why I thought I would add on a question, which would help you, Hon. Minister, to ensure that your portfolio is brought to more fruition in the future.
