    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to thank my colleagues who have contributed to this Bill. I also want to take this opportunity to assure them that all their observations and concerns will be taken care of. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of issues which was raised here concerned the seriousness of my Ministry and the museums. The fact that we have brought up this Bill indicates how serious we are in trying to protect our artifacts and enhance the opportunities of ensuring that each and every child of this country will be proud of his or her heritage. We have friends, particularly in the European Union (EU), who recently gave us grants to develop and improve our museums. I am sure there will be many more friends who will want to come to our aid in so far as we have the legal empowerment that will protect whatever we think will be the best for this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure that, from now onwards, those who have been operating private museums will have to be licensed by the Ministry and those who have been making money out of the national heritage of this country should also know from now that, each one of them must be governed and ruled by the law. Those times when anybody could come to this country, pick or buy whatever he or she wanted to pick or buy and get away with it are over. That is why we have brought this Bill to the House and I am so grateful that my colleagues have taken time to support this Bill. With those few comments, I beg to move."
