    "content": "is virtual and they cannot participate. So, it is very important that when we develop and implement policies and laws, we must look their implications. That is the greatest message out of this Bill. However, the real issue with employment is that we have to create jobs. The issues we were considering in the BBI process – like creating the youth council and providing tax reliefs – are extremely important. Whatever our party or political alignment, we must agree. We can call the models anything – bottom-up and so on – but the question is: do we create jobs for our youth? Some people are saying that the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) is no more, but it is not the term that is important, but the content it describes. In my view, whatever happens, we must go back and look at the content of all these ideas we have and implement them without bogging people down with the political jargon that we go into. I think job creation is a big thing and we must look at it. It is okay to say that we can reduce the retirement age but do you remember what happened in Spain? You will end up with many retired people that are being paid pensions. Therefore, you will end up with a pension load for people who are actually not working at all, but you are paying them. It is much greater than the simple things. We have to go back in our economy and politics and find the best way of creating jobs. This Bill addresses the problem and gives a solution and for that reason, I support."
