    "content": "My proposed Amendment is to delete Clause 2(b). The reason for this is the issue of the digital content monetisation. Earlier, I said I needed a procedural guidance. The reason I proposed we delete this is because it is tied to Clause 20. Clause 20, and we are not there on such a procedural question, I wanted to delete the taxation to the digital content creators. If you delete that, there would be no need for definition of this digital content monetisation. Unless it happens now, my Amendment, therefore, becomes redundant. Procedurally, I thought we should have gone through the other clauses because this is a definition. Thereafter, we can come to the definition as the last thing after we have agreed on what remains in the Bill. With that guidance, my position is, I do not think it is time we taxed our young people who are involved in digital content creation because that is a sector which is creating jobs for them. I thought this is a time to support them so that as we move into the future, we create a critical mass which can then be taxed. With these comments, I urge the House to support me so that we do not tax the young people who are doing Tik Tok creation at all. Thank you."
