    "content": "Therefore, I invite this House to support this Bill that seeks to make the creative industry a true economic industry. Let it have its own council, which should be semi- autonomous and run by the creatives themselves. Let those creatives inform industrial policy that will enable Government support be curated to the creative industry. It should be focused on empowering to make sure that if we have to tax the creatives, we do so because they earn what is commensurate to their arts or creativity. They can contribute to our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by creating employment opportunities which are not just periodic and seasonal, but permanent, sustainable and long-lasting, because they have been mainstreamed into our production sectors. That is what the Bill is about."
