    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am a member of this Committee and, obviously, I fully support the Bill. I participated in the discussions of this Bill. I just want to take this opportunity to thank hon. Sang for taking the trouble up to where we are. I think that this Bill will enable recognition and high profiling of this profession within the medical field. I think it is important that every branch is given the structures and the arrangement that can make it keep growing. Anything that promotes professionalism in any branch, any practice and any service, is something that we should always support. Looking at this Bill, it will provide training, registration and licensing of those who are physiotherapists. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will appreciate this move even more when, at one time in your life, you have an occasion to seek the services of a physiotherapist. About eight years ago, I was involved in a traffic accident and, as part of healing and rehabilitation; I realized how important this branch of medical practice is. I do support. I am also aware that there are many other Bills in the pipeline that are coming through this Committee and, as we move forward, maybe, emphasis has to be more and more on preventive measures of medicine rather than curative. That is because it is much more expensive. We shall need to promote that. We are looking forward very eagerly to 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."
