I would like to join my colleagues and say that this Bill is timely. It has come at the right time. We want to repeal the Workmen's Compensation Act. When I look at the Bill and the way the disabilities that come from accidents have been graded, I would like to say that, at least, they have used a scientific way of grading the levels and degrees of injuries that can be sustained by workers at their places of work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that many things in this Bill can be agreed to unanimously by this House. It is a Bill we have been waiting for. I think that its time has come. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."}
