I agree with that.

The clarification is that it is for a period that could extend beyond five weeks and the committee does not cease after five weeks. Is that correct? Will the budgetary committee, as established by this committee, fall under the d'Hondt system? I agree with Deputy Michael McGrath, with the caveat that the budgetary committee should be chaired by a member of the Opposition who has not entered into an arrangement with the Government to facilitate budgetary matters.
