    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to urge the Chairman of the Committee to reconsider his amendment. Indeed, the foundation of this Bill is in Clause 8. That is the basis of this Bill. If we are going to allow health workers to receive gifts and financial assistance, then it defeats the entire purpose of bringing this Bill to do what we want to do. Secondly, the Minister should also have considered the issue. Putting together a health worker and a proprietor is a miss-match because a proprietor is probably a business person. A business person will definitely promote what they are selling. So, you cannot put together the health worker and the proprietor. A proprietor will be acting for the manufacturer to sell their products. So, he is most likely going to receive the product and promote it. But the health worker should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to receive any gifts, financial inducements and fellowships. The Minister has done very well by bringing the amendment that designs the ambit of those gifts. So, I want to urge her to give clarity to the law by deleting the “proprietor” from this clause."
