    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new Section 5B by deleting sub- clause (5). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the justification for this is that we do not want to increase the levy because once we improve the performance and get 100 per cent remittance of this levy, we will not need to increase the amount levied to our employer, especially at this time when our economy is not doing well as it is still trying to recover from the effects of COVID-19. It would be the wrong time to increase any levy and that is why I am proposing to delete that particular amendment so that the status quo remains. Every employer will continue paying what they have been paying. Right now, there will be more efficiency and a wider base for those who are going to be paid for their levies including our Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and small scale industries. They will inject this levy into this programme and more money will be available to train our young engineers and technicians. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to propose that amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
