    "content": "expert or understands a certain trade, it is easy for them to handle the issues because they understand the nature of the people. A lot of time, lawyers complicate issues. This is because every time there is a dispute, the first person people run to is their lawyers. If this Bill is passed, there is a clause that mandates lawyers that they must first advise parties. If it is not a criminal issue or the issues that cannot be tackled under this Bill, they must advice their clients to first try conciliation and mediation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is not new. In the construction industry, our law for contractors is clear that in the event of a dispute, we first try negotiations. If it fails, they go to mediation. If that fails, they go to arbitration. In fact, in construction, the law of the land is that there is no going to court. If a person runs to court, the judge automatically sends them back if their contract is one of those local contracts that we have. So, these are things that are already happening. Under mediation and conciliation, we need to have this sort of order in the industry because there is no order."
