Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I withdrew the word frivolous and apologised to my good friend, Sen. Cherarkey. I support the Senate Majority Leader on the issue of training and learning. Every day is a learning day. We want to be more effective in this House. Devolution is a very serious matter and what this Senate is doing is very important to this country, if we are really going to develop the country.

I agree that creation of millions of jobs can happen in the agricultural sector. ...
