Given the fact that each department etc will have their plan debated etc, will their be a proper debate? Tynpotwald when they debate aren’t consistent. Sometimes they will spend hours talking and debating absolute shite, but serious matters of national importance are debated in the space of an hour. The ayes have it! 

To be fair that's what that passage seems to imply - that there will be a proper debate for each Department or Board.  What is more they will all be scheduled through the Parliamentary Year rather than all crammed into the same sitting in the hope that there will be no scrutiny because they all want to get off on their hols (this usually happens with July Tynwald where the agenda is crammed to bursting deliberately).

I'm not sure why, but anyway, I think we need I ❤️ Man Government T-shirts.

I suggest with sort of witty and whimsical slogans:

Don’t Hassle the Howie (he's gone now though)

Don’t mouth the Alf

Don’t Trash the Ash

Don’t Drive the Lawrie

Don’t Dilly with the Daph

Don’t diss the Chris

This is one of Cannan's "things" he has several times said he wants Tynwald sittings themed. I suppose this is a way he could do it from a Government perspective. He of course has no control over the parliamentary side of things. So as much as he might want to have a DHSC or DoI themed Tynwald there's will always be a member who'll Table a random debate on red squirrels or the scourge of seagulls.
