    "content": "Departmental Committee on Health regarding the harmful effects of chemical agents such as tear gas and other irritants that are used by law enforcement agencies. The recent demonstrations led by young people, often referred to as ‘Generation Z’, have brought to light the pressing calls for substantial reforms and the elimination of socio- economic inequalities that are affecting the people. These protests, aimed at prompting transformative action from the Government, have been met with excessive crowd control measures by the police; most notably, the indiscriminate use of tear gas and water cannons which has also been extended to residential areas and primary schools in close proximity. This has exposed vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions to disproportionate health risk. Hon. Speaker"
