I suspect House Members can guess along with me what government it Is that plays the role of chief supporter for this organization. I might observe. too. that some of last years junketeers spent time in Denmark. Norway. and Sweden studying the extent of the refugee problem there. though the committee does not list a single refugee or migrant going to Denmark. Norway. or Sweden. I might also observe that one member of the committee spent $1.100 between November 15 and December 7. last year. presumably looking into "refugee matters" in Jamaica. It may be that he discovered a refugee calypso band down there. But the committee does not list any more refugees in Jamaica than It did in Denmark. Norway. or Sweden. Ladies and gentlemen of the House. is it not about time. with the spending situation and deficit being what it is in this Government. that we cut out this proposed $38.000 junket?
