    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a nominated MP, I do not have CDF for the people I represent, which are the special interest groups. However, I rise to support this Bill, which is very good and timely. We have been disappointed by governors in this country. We actually thought that when they get money, they would do miracles and wonders. But what we have seen is a difference between the poverty before they came in and the wealth that we see in them and the people around them. I just curiously note that this Committee, led by Hon. Lessonet, seems to only have one female member. I do not know whether that has an impact on the resolutions of the Committee. Just on a light note, I think that needs to be looked at. As an MP representing special interests, I confess that it is extremely difficult to represent people when you cannot actually solve their problems or help them or speak to their needs and concerns. Maybe, many Members do not think this happens; that when we are out there, people know that we represent them. The nomination of some of us was not the way it used to be before, where you just represent your party. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
