This is the continent where our youths are dying across the Mediterranean in large numbers. I listened to an interview over the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) where somebody asked those who are moving across North Africa across the Mediterranean sea: “It is almost obvious that when you go into these boats trying to get to Europe you are going to die.” This young man said: “In any case, where I am living in my country there are no jobs. So I am going to die anyway. So, I could as well die trying.” So, it is time and I thank Hon. Sakaja for being focussed and tenacious on issues of the youth and bringing this Bill."}
