    "content": " We should be part and parcel of the global community, as far as protecting our marine diversity is concerned. We must ratify this Protocol. Additionally, for us to sustain the fishing industry in this country, there is no way we can do so without being part of the global community. Several countries have ratified this treaty. There is absolutely no reason why, as a country, we cannot ratify it. The report further states that it will grant access to targeted technical assistance and capacity-building support for developing country members and Least Developed Countries (LDCs). We are a developing country and we appreciate that. Therefore, if we are to progress, we must do more in terms of technical assistance and capacity building, especially to support our fishing industry in this Republic Therefore, I support the Motion to the extent that the agreement complies with Article 60(1)(e) and Article 69(1)(a) of the Constitution. These Articles are for productive and sustainable exploitation, utilisation, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources as well as equitable sharing of accruing benefits. The agreement complies with Articles 2,5 and 6 as well as Articles 60(1)(a) and 69(1)(a) of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
