    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that my colleagues want to contribute to this Bill. I have a lot of information but I just want to give you a few figures as I conclude. In 2006, wildlife accounted for 70 per cent of gross tourism earnings - representing 25 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 10 per cent of the total sector employment. From these figures, you can see that the biggest product for our tourism sector is our natural heritage, wildlife, rivers and forests. Therefore, I would like to say that whenever we request for money to look after this natural heritage, hon. Members should support us so that we can attract tourists to this country."
