    "content": "Thank you. As I stand to support this Motion, I want to talk about the youth who are largely unemployed. They come out of universities and colleges every year. Unfortunately, they are not absorbed. Which begs the question: Why are we asking these kids to go to school, get educated, come out and then they cannot find jobs? Every year we are building huge projects. Unfortunately the state departments are not directly doing it. They outsource to companies.

Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
