    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also wish to thank the Mover of this Motion for giving me two minutes. I will say three points. First, I support the Motion. This is the right place to channel the Economic Stimulus Package. We should stimulate the agricultural sector, and as he has rightly pointed out, this is an agricultural economy. I think we should push the Treasury to allocate this money as an economic stimulus package for the agricultural sector. It is also good to harmonise some of the water institutions. We should put the Department of Irrigation under the Ministry of Agriculture so that they can streamline all those water bodies that deal with food security issues. Finally, if we get the 2,000 acres per constituency under irrigation scheme, this will help a lot in creating employment for our youth. It will be labour-intensive. Instead of exporting our youth to other countries that are not all that secure to look for jobs, we can create jobs for our young people using such schemes through the Economic Stimulus Package. Thank you. I support the Motion."
