    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will, of course, support this Motion because it is extremely important. It must be noted that it is the primary responsibility of every Government to protect the lives of its citizens, within the borders of the country or without the borders. It is the duty of the Government to ensure that its citizens are safe wherever they are, at every time. It is really a sad indictment on ourselves as a country that in this day and age, we can have our fellow citizens languishing in desperation in foreign lands and end up dying in the hands of foreigners without us having a clue as to how they ended up there or what exactly they are doing there. In ordinary circumstances, it is not something nice or something to long for to work in a foreign land. Even for professionals, who end up doing good jobs in foreign lands, it is their last resort. You want to work in your country. It becomes worse when circumstances force you to go and do manual work in a foreign land. It is a situation that calls for even more vigilance on the part of the Government. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the question I ask, because many times we talk about our sovereignty, is: Can you imagine what would happen if a citizen of a country such as the United States of America (USA), were to be killed in a foreign land under The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
