"content": "Where do we get the money? The NG-CDF has many components, and one of them is environment. Putting in 2 per cent to support that talent is very important. The NG-CDF Act says that you cannot confer a direct benefit to an individual. That, therefore, locks out giving the money to individuals. However, I ask myself a question. When I give bursaries, what do I do? I confer a direct benefit to an individual. Someone comes and says that she can make very beautiful dresses, and then requests me to buy her a sewing machine. I tell her that the NG- CDF Act does not allow me to do that. We, therefore, need to amend it. This Motion should be the precursor for us to go to the NG-CDF Regulations, change them and put the 2 per cent for supporting artisans, people with talents and our young people who yearn to make a difference in their lives without following around an MP or politician to make money. That is the only way we can help this country."
