    "content": "the need to give job opportunities to the youth, we must appreciate that some jobs are for old people. So, it is discriminative in that sense. It is a serious issue that is unconstitutional as far as our supreme law is concerned. The Bill is punitive in the sense that, if somebody serves more than six months in an acting capacity, he will not be compensated; he will not be paid his allowances or salary. Some recruitment exercises take a year or so to hire somebody who is capable and targeted for a given position for many reasons. There are jobs that require special skills, expertise and dedication. We have to be realistic. The Bill should be amended at the Committee of the Whole House stage, so that all these realities are taken care of to ensure that this Bill is not discriminative and punitive. For now, I oppose the Bill. Thank you."
