    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I commend both the National Assembly and the Senate. More importantly, the National Assembly appreciates the role the Senate has played in improving the Bill. This reduces our differences and clearly shows that the two Houses are working together for this nation. If they have brought something which is good, we embrace it. If we carry this spirit in other Bills, we will have better Bills to be debated in the House and we will serve this country better. When the Senate came up with the amendment of public forests, community forests and private forests, they referred this to very specific Articles in the Constitution. What is more important is the amendment of removing the word “national” and calling it “public”. This ensures that the community where the forest is based appreciates the forest. They will not see the forest as owned by the national Government. They appreciate that they own the forest and it is for their benefit. So, any administrative activities to be carried out in that area, they are willing to support the Government."
