    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for allowing me to say something before the Mover is called upon to reply. Coming from a background of workers, teachers and general proletariats, I wish, just like the former speaker has put it, that we support the Government. I thought through this Bill and I realised that, unless the Government is strong financially, it will not be possible to pay salaries. If salaries are not paid, we shall not have the ripple effect or what we call “the multiplier effect” of the same salaries to other people and, therefore, grow the economy. This will make the nation to come to a standstill. It is important to note that the people who benefitted from, for instance, the Corporate Tax, did not do anything for the workers. They still went ahead to lay off their workers. Most of the workers are at home. So, we would rather go back to where we were with the hope that they will employ those workers that they laid off from work despite the moratorium that they were given. Given the general mood of the House, I do not want to say more than this but to support this Bill. Thank you."
