    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. As I do so, I want to draw the attention of the House to the fact that out of the many criteria that we may be looking at when we are awarding these young people, I suggest that it is important to include science and technology. As we develop this country, the matters referring to science and technology to young people, particularly in a developing country, are important. I do so because when I was much younger, I happen to be involved in certain projects that have contributed to this country. However, even when people are being given awards, you will find that those who belong to the category of science and technology as young people never get noticed. You know that there are many people who have been awarded for sports and many other things but in terms of science and technology very few have been recognised. As I do so, I also suggest that it is important to include some of the people who play a lot of emphasis in cohesion of this country and young people who work very hard so that this country becomes one. At a time like this when we are going for elections, I know there are many young people who are working to make sure that this country stays as one. Even as we outline the criteria we may be looking and the category they may be falling under, it is important to highlight matters of national cohesion and contribution by young people in making sure that this country remains one. I thank you and I support this Bill."
