This has been a year like no other in our lifetime. Equally, Budget 2020 was a Budget like no other that any of us can remember. I do actually feel some sympathy for the Minister of Finance and his officials, because whatever work had been done up to the beginning of March will largely have gone out the window, given the events that followed in the weeks immediately afterwards. So the document that was presented here in this House on 14 May was really more of a fiscal update than a detailed Budget. Cobbled together in a matter of weeks and with circumstances changing daily, it is understandable that it was light on detail and left so many questions unanswered. But the Government now needs to show much greater understanding of what this country needs in order for us to rebuild and to save shattered livelihoods.
