    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I thank those who have brought this Bill to the House. I remember as a young person back in mid 980s, we started agitating for the enactment of this Bill. To find it on the Floor is a pleasant surprise for me. My colleague over there knows how much we have struggled to get this aspect of our profession regulated in a known manner. This Bill largely deals with maintenance of buildings or taking care of already constructed buildings. We know that houses continue wasting away when we do not have people who can take care of them in a known manner. This Bill serves to ensure that those who have been trained in this field, and they are normally trained at university for a period of about four years, leave with a degree in Land Economics and they specialise as building surveyors, valuation surveyors or estate agents. The area that has been lacking is that of building surveyors because it has never been provided for with a gradation and a board. This Bill comes at the right time. It is never too late. I thank the Government and the Leader of the Majority Party The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
