I thank the Committee for doing a good job. These are all pharmaceutical practitioners. They are practitioners in the field of pharmacy. The Leader of the Majority Party has given a further distinction. If you go to a chemist, you can tell that this is a pharmacist and another is an enrolled pharmaceutical technologist. An enrolled pharmaceutical technologist is a diploma holder. A pharmacist is a degree holder. The requirements for their training are different. For you to be trained in pharmacy, you have to go to university. To be an enrolled pharmaceutical technologist, you get a diploma in a college. The requirements and period of training also vary. A pharmacist has a longer period of training, more exposure than a pharmaceutical technologist and is the boss of a pharmaceutical technologist. This is a good further amendment. I support it."}
