    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of e-governance, we have talked about it. We even have a policy, but I do not think we know what we are talking about. We think that e-governance is about having computers in the offices and people using them. That is not e-governance! This Ministry needs to work with other Government departments and Ministries to teach them and show them how to establish E-governance. That mainly focuses on the content; how are we going to digitize information that is already in analogue form to digital form? That is where it is very crucial! The way we are going to do it is extremely crucial. If we do not do it right, then everything we do will just be garbage! So, that is a very important content; it is the most important aspect in that technology. So, I think the Ministry should lay more emphasis on content. The last one, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the issue of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO). That is where we have a lot of opportunity to create jobs for our youth. That is where I would like the Ministry to focus, so that we can create jobs for our youth in our country. I am very happy with the fiber optic cable being launched and, very soon, it will be available. I think that is an area where we need to focus. Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say that the Minister has done a good job, but he has a lot of challenges ahead of him and, therefore, he has a lot to do! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
