    "content": "These shops should be inspected and if somebody is found selling counterfeits, the only answer is to take him to court because that is murder. He is a murderer. So, I want the Committee to come up with amendments here and be very strict so that we can, at least, have inspectors regularly checking the establishments, be they agro vets or chemists and see what they are selling. There are a lot of counterfeits out there. If today you have a headache, you walk into a store, they will give you a drug you do not even know. I know Panadol, but a counterfeit written “Panadol” is there. That is something we should look at very seriously. Last, but not least, let us also do some training. A lot of our youths are taking a lot of drugs in schools. Children are taking a lot of drugs in schools and colleges and, therefore, we should have psychiatrists in schools so that they can have regular check-ups in some of the schools and see the cause of the problem. The killing we are seeing around here is caused by nothing else other than psychological issues and we have to face the facts. Something somewhere is not right. Therefore, we should take care of that. Otherwise, I support this Bill. I do not know whether I got the Chairlady wrongly, although she is here in the House. She said that some of the proposals by the Committee are not being owned by the Ministry of Health. We oversee this Ministry. Therefore, we should take it seriously. If anything, somebody should be taken to task to own what Members of Parliament propose because they represent our people out there. Therefore, the Ministry of Health cannot say that they cannot own up what the Departmental Committee on Health has come up with."
