    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is this sabotage? Why are these microphones not working? It is now okay. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was developing this concept that you must, somehow in this Bill, provide for the no-go-zones as far as alcohol is concerned, very much as in the campaign against smoking where there are no-go-zones. I was saying that there are places here – offices, factories, unless, of course, it is a factory making alcohol – but the concept here is selling. I am surprised that we have not provided, for example, for educational institutions. Educational institutions have not been made no-go-zones as far as selling or conveying alcohol is concerned. So, when this Bill goes back to the Committee, I would really urge the Committee to think very carefully and come up with a section in this Bill where there are no-go-zones as far as alcohol is concerned. The only thing I can think about is educational institutions. We have now found that so much is going on in educational institutions. Our youth are being corrupted at a very early age. In fact, some people say that primary school pupils are already drinking. They do this at the educational institutions. They do it because of the sachets they can carry. As the teacher is teaching, the student takes what appears to be water. However, this is alcohol. We should have those no-go zones as far as alcohol is concerned so that when it goes before the Committee, we bring amendments here. I think I will be among the first to vote for that particular amendment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
