Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Departmental Committee discussed this matter and we agreed that there is need to impose a new levy on all registered engineers who will pay the levy on an annual basis.

The Departmental Committee reckoned that training of the engineers is very important. This Act provides that in order for an engineer to have his or her registration renewed annually, he ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for many years, we have not realized the importance of data and information in the planning process.

So, this Motion aims to set this fundamental need for data as a national asset for all our planning purposes, and for all our development initiatives.
