    "content": "When this Bill was introduced in this House, members of the engineering fraternity had serious issues with it. I realize that the reservation of the President has got to do with giving the Board functions, when they were deleted from the Bill. We are going to pass this Bill which will recognize Engineering Technologists and Technicians. Even as we do so, we need to be cautious. Many of the problems we have in this country have got to do with jurisdictional lapses. This is where people who are not qualified to do some work pretend to engage themselves in those works. This is particularly prevalent in the building industry. I want to believe as we pass this Bill, let there be no illusion whatsoever that we are giving technologists and technicians a carte blanche to pretend to do the work that ought to be done by engineers. That is because the training and jurisdictions are different. This has to go out very clearly that this is not a carte blanche for people to now start wading into areas that they do not understand and for everyone to go out there and start calling themselves consultants.
