    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are some old causes of inflation like importation. Our country for a long time has been basically a merchandizing country. By this I mean that we have a country whose economy thrives on buying and selling even the small things that we can make for ourselves; that strains our foreign exchange reserves unnecessarily. A good example is when you visit shops and see toys that are made of plastic and all them come from China. You need to get the dollars before you get the Yen, yet these are plastics that we can make here. It is time that this House approved this Select Committee, so that recommendations can be made to possibly ensure that these small items like the toys are not imported using our foreign exchange. In doing that, we shall in retrospect be ensuring that there is innovation and creativity in this country."
