    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. As I requested, we are having a meeting with different State departments on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and so, I have to go. I support this Bill. There is definitely a need for cultural preservation. Culture shows our identity as a people. Those who do not preserve their culture are lost because they do not know who they are. I do not want to adversely mention a friendly country. Of late, I have been to many countries. I can tell you there is one country that has built a new city and, looking at it, something is lacking. It lacks a spirit because it has no culture. They have done so much in the last five to modernise it, but that aspect does not show where they are coming from. That city feels empty. It does not have a spirit because it does not show what the people were like. If you look at a city like Marrakech in Morocco, it shows where they came from. It is so beautiful and shows their culture, although culture is not just manifest in the physical. I like this Bill because it is showing that it is also in very different aspects, including language."
