    "content": "urge that we write off these loans, start from a new slate, but not rush in the privatization until the interests of all the stakeholders are taken into account. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I saw – and I want to caution the Minister – a paper where they said that for those who want to buy these factories 51 per cent must go to the farmers. I, definitely, want the farmers to have major stakes in these factories, but it is unlikely that a person who wants to invest in a factory or industry will be agreeable to take less than 51 per cent and then, surrender the majority voting rights to somebody else. So, we need to balance these interests. The interest of the investor is as important as the interest of the farmer and Government, so that we have a better system to run our sugar industry. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to end by, once again, thanking the Minister for doing a good job. He should rest assured that we support him fully for the wonderful job that he has done. He has been there for a very short time and, definitely, done much better than some of the people who were ahead of him for a lot longer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second."
