    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the amendment requiring us to debate the Report of the Committee. The Reports alludes to the history of our people. We should be proud of our history because it forms the basis of our existence. We should be proud of our history because on its basis, we are able to chart the future. From the history of our people, we are able to understand why we are where we are. The importance of doing this is that it will set us free from the yokes of denial. The challenges that we have every now and then, be they at the family, community or national level are caused by the state of denial that we find ourselves in. So, it is important for us to debate this Report so that we can find ways of conducting ourselves appropriately and mainstreaming the principles of the Commission’s findings in legislation. That way, we can have legislations that promote integration and cohesiveness amongst our people as well as harmony and co-existence amongst our people and our environment. In the absence of that, we will not attain sustainable development. We are all desirous of sustainable development but we cannot if we do not understand why we are where we are, and if we cannot understand and manage our environment."
