    "content": "We need to provide in the Bill a mechanism for funding specific communities and experts to produce knowledge on cultural expressions and traditional artefacts. Sometimes we do not document these traditions and people die without passing information and knowledge to our highly westernized generations. We do not bring to the media the whole discussion on our traditional knowledge, practices and cultures. It is beautiful to preserve our cultures however expensive it is. I was looking at a photo somebody sent me on how the Somali community used to construct their traditional huts. There is serious expertise on how they did it. It is very hard to get some of the products now because there is no investment to protect those traditional and cultural practices, knowledge and artefacts. We need to invest heavily in preserving, promoting, protecting and maintaining traditional cultural expressions. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
