| Message | Mr Speaker, It is the intention of this bill to add 250,000 jobs to the economy and increase trade surplus to 5% while also increasing economic growth to 4% and GDP of 670+ billion MCR. This will see unemployment lessen to 3.5%. This will be the last budget before the next general elections. The Bill sees tremendous increase in Industry and Trade ( 90-100 billion MCR), Food and Agriculture( 20-34 billion MCR and Education and Culture( 6 - 6.8 billion MCR) This bill seeks to ensure a budget surplus of 3 billion dollars through the reallocation of monies to food and agriculture because it's the intention of this government to have more persons working on farms which will create jobs along with concessions in fertilizers for farmers and more agro-processing with agriculture products, through increased industrialization, poised to supply both the local and global market thereby increasing trade |

| Message | I hereby bring this motion for debate |
| Date | 09:45:40, June 16, 2017 CET | From | Wind of Change | To | Debating the Malivia Recurrent Expenditure Estimates 4227 |
| Message | We would vote yes although we disagree with that budget cuts in environment, healthcare and science areas. We think we should reduce the company tax in order to create private jobs, not depending always on the Government help, which is important , of course, but we believe that the State must provide a good education and healthcare, promote the science, care the environment and impulse and help the industry (not focusing all its expenditures on it ) |
| Date | 11:19:37, June 16, 2017 CET | From | Central Unionist Party | To | Debating the Malivia Recurrent Expenditure Estimates 4227 |
| Message | We will be voting against this Bill. We as a party will not be voting for a decrease in spending to important departments such as Health and Social Services. A review of the tax system also needs to take place. |
| Date | 14:22:48, June 16, 2017 CET | From | Unity Labour Party | To | Debating the Malivia Recurrent Expenditure Estimates 4227 |
| Message | The issue Mr Speaker, is that we have to do plenty with thenkitchen we have. If we spend too much, we can see a massive deficit incurred by the government which overtime will increase the debt of Malivia. Currently our debt to GDP is very small of 10% which has declined drastically over the many years since the ULP first came into office around 4150-85 where we turned the economy around. Thus, to increase spending in some areas, automatically and dialectically, other areas will see a decrease. It's all about prioritisation Mr Speaker and my ministry and this government has tried time and time again to be fiscally prudent. With that said, I am thankful to my constituents for giving me the chance to be in this honourable house and also thank the Prime Minister for having confidence in me to serve in his cabinet as Minister of finance. This is our last budget before the next elections, it's surely not an election budget as we have seen only a slight increase in spending from the last budget. We wish it safe passage in this house. I'm obliged !! |
