    "content": "If you look at Part III of the Bill, it makes it mandatory for all dealers to keep a record of the type and source of metals they acquire and requires a 14 days delay before scrap metal is melted. Currently, any stolen scrap metal is immediately melted and this erases evidence thus making investigations by authorities impossible for lack of evidence. The 14 days delay proposed by the Bill will be a solution to this. If you look at Part IV of the Bill, specifically clause 30, it provides for the facilitation of the Government Scrap Metal Inspector who will be verifying the source and I think it is a very important thing. It is a departure from the current situation. In a nutshell, the Bill is aimed at streamlining the scrap metal sector. Therefore, I wish to request the support of the House and ask my colleagues to give their input, modify it and enrich it as we move to the next stage and approve the Bill."
