Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I just want to add one or two things on what Members have raised. If Members can remember clearly, in the Sugar Board that we formed, we have made sure that all stakeholders are included. We thought that it was going to check some of these issues because it is the Board that will make decisions on what should be imported and who should import.
