    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Bill and share my thoughts as well. From the onset, I support this Bill. I find the thoughts that have been shared in this Bill quite encouraging to us as a country. It is also shocking as has been observed by many of my colleagues who have spoken before, that as a nation, we have survived without this kind of a Bill for this long. This is despite the fact that we consider ourselves an agricultural economy and we say that it is our mainstay yet for a long time, we did not have laws to regulate such an important facet. It is such a direct and important aspect that affects our economy and even goes into threatening the very livelihood of the country. I must say that there are many things that I agree with in this Bill. In the next few minutes, I will share my thoughts in the things that have been pointed out herein, my experiences as a legislator and the things that I see and feel that will be important for us to consider as we read through and give our thoughts. Even as we move to the Committee Stage, there are a few things that I also wish to propose that they be changed in this Bill. I know the Sponsor of the Bill will take into consideration all the suggestions that will be brought forth today. The very first thing that I want to take exception to as specified in this Bill is that there are many times that we get Bills coming into this House establishing such and such an authority. There is one particular issue that I have always tried to raise on the Floor of this House but nobody seems to be listening. That is, for every authority that we set up in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
