    "content": "The reason I support the Bill is that when we look at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons of the Bill, we see quite clearly that it is an important step that we need to take as a nation. The purpose behind the Bill is outlined. The first one is to enhance penalties related to the offences of possession and trafficking in narcotics. The other reason is to define precursors and chemical substances that are used in the manufacture of narcotics. Another one is to define who the law enforcement officers are in respect of the Act and another one is to prescribe offences for law enforcement officers who aid or abet in the distribution or trade in those narcotic drugs and to provide for offences arising out of that kind of conspiracy. It is also to give power to intercept communication between dealers and possible users of those drugs and finally to provide an obligation for anyone to give information when required."
