"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while the raising of taxes is a mandate of a separate Ministry, I would like to say that--- The hon. Member is absolutely correct that technology and 2518 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 2, 2006 communication could change our country. But in order for that to happen, it has to be financed somehow. The money we use to finance those exchanges has to come from somewhere, and that is taxation. So, it would be desirable to waive all those taxes to make connectivity cheaper than it is today, but the truth of the matter is that we have to raise some money from somewhere to lay out the technology that is required for that to happen."
