I rise to support this Bill, because it is very timely as we try to diversify the sources of income in this country. This country relies mainly on agriculture and a bit of tourism, transport and service industries. Diversifying to mining is a welcome thing, now that we require creating employment in this country for our youth and industrializing. We cannot do that if we do not diversify into mining. I believe this Bill is very timely and needs to be supported."}
