    "content": "We heard of the unfortunate incident that took place in China where lots of children died because of being fed with the wrong supplements. We would hate to have a situation like that happening in our country. We are going into a world of commerce and unless we are very clear ourselves that what we are getting, whether as adults or as children has passed a certain standard, then we risk losing a whole generation who will have gone through some processess and it will be too late to start reversing the damage that will have been done. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree totally and I am very happy to hear that breastfeeding creates a special bond between the mother and child. For me, that bond is still very strong after all these years and I would like to see every child having the same bond. I am not quite sure of what we are going to do with the fathers because they cannot breastfeed and how that bond will be created between the fathers and their children. The mothers have this natural endowment that enables them to have a bond with their children. But for us men, we then need to cultivate in a different way how we will create this special bond. When all is said and done, I am happy to support this Bill and I would urge the entire House to support it. Let us give our children and their mothers the right to chose what to feed their children based on the information and standards and at the same time we give the industry the requirement they need to meet so that there can be level playing field in terms of all the manufacturers and promoters of instant substitutes, foods and formula so that nobody will ever subject our children to take what is not in their best interest. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those words, I beg to second."
