    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this debate. I want to echo the words of my Deputy Leader of the Majority Party that the Report from the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee is good, but not comprehensive. They are supposed to offer solutions and a way forward. Just mentioning that one ethnic community holds 17 per cent of the jobs is not enough. They must also calculate that community’s percentage in terms of the population. You cannot give equal opportunities to a community that holds 0.001 per cent of the population and one that holds almost 40 per cent of the population. Therefore, that Report is not comprehensive. It is not proper to state that one community holds 17 per cent of opportunities and yet, you do not substantiate which positions they hold, or whether they were employed between 1965 and 1980, or two days ago. This Report is not weighty and, therefore, we cannot pass it. My colleague here says that there is no single Member of the Committee who supports the Report. We were not even sure whether it is the Chairperson’s or the Committee’s Report. It seems like the Chairperson has also left."
