    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion and insist that 3002 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 18, 2006 freedom of information is a human right and that access to and free flow of information is something that every citizen should enjoy. However, when the Bill comes into force, certain issues should be considered. Just like in Parliament here, where unsubstantiated allegations do not pass the test, we would expect that even as the media or any other person makes certain allegations, the Bill should require that such a person takes responsibility. That can only be done by asking that these unsubstantiated allegations are proved. As we know, no amount of reprieve in the form of damages can really equal or assuage the fact that somebody's reputation has been damaged. So, I want to appeal that when this Bill comes, such considerations should also be taken into account so that people do not just come up with information that they cannot substantiate in the form of \"our anonymous sources\" or \"sources close to us\", or \" a member who requested anonymity said this and that\". I think this should also be taken care of. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
