    "content": "Maybe the Committee should take some lesson or benchmark with what obtains in Norway. If you visit Norway, you will understand the way they have addressed the issue of natural resources. They have not done it regionally. They have put a cap that natural resources available are not just for the present generation of Norwegians. It is for posterity. Therefore, any current Government cannot spend of the current wealth from natural resources in excess of 25 per cent. The rest is kept for generations to come. So, the issue of moving from one county to another or from region to region does not even arise there. They take account of generations. Perhaps, we need to start thinking about that because our Constitution encourages us to think about future generations. The current generation must be mindful of future generations even when they are dealing with wealth from nature. Sometimes people tend to get confused and think about themselves and make laws for the current generation. We should be more futuristic and look at generations to come, 1,000 years from now when nobody will even remember that we existed. But, if we pass good laws, they will still be there and the future generations will enjoy and benefit from our foresight and knowledge."
