2-1-11 Parliamentary source: the Finance Committee to postpone its meeting tomorrow to attend and could not be Ziralzraap

Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article

1. A member of the Finance Committee confirmed that the committee postponed its meeting until tomorrow
2. A member of the Finance Committee from the Kurdish blocs said that they discussed the redeployment of some of the money without it impacting the 2011 budget
3. The Finance Committee will be giving special priority to the Minister of Water Resources and the Minister of Agriculture. They want to ensure they allocated enough money to these ministries
4. The Commission will balance complete the work on the budget in 2 days and will give it the government. Then, it will be returned to the House for a vote

Note: I've seen articles where they have said they will vote on the budget today. Clearly this cannot happen if the budget is still being worked on, which this article suggests it is. There is also the question of whether they will vote on the budget and finalize it, or whether it simply means they will read it for another time. Vote means vote to me, but if they've redrafted the budget, which yesterday's news said they did, then it must be read 3 times prior to a vote. Yet, we keep seeing that word "vote". Strange.
