    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me time to contribute. I would like to sincerely congratulate you for being elected for the first time to preside over the business of this House. You are competent to handle this business and I can only say that your future dreams are valid. It can only open better opportunities for you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill is very impressive even from the manner in which it is being presented. It is very detailed and technical, as the Senate Majority Leader who moved it indicated. I must also laud the contributions of the Deputy Majority Leader who actually looks extremely competent on matters of energy. Maybe it says something about his past experience as an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Energy. He has dealt with the technical issues. As a lawyer, I will just focus on some of the things that I think are salient in terms of the management of our resources. It is important to realize, like Sen. Keter has pointed out, that whereas oil can be classified in proper English as minerals, this Bill excludes, in its definition, matters related to petroleum, hydrocarbons and water, because water can also be a very precious mineral. Therefore, it gives us the chance to continue with the other Bills also which deal with petroleum and water laws that are already in place in this country. So, this Bill is confining itself to issues that are related to just the minerals. I have a lot of interest on matters of minerals. It may interest you if I let you know that my father is a dealer in matters of gold. In my youthful years I used to buy gold from small artisans--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
