Hon. Speaker, as we come away from the entertainment by Hon. Donya, we would now like to get to serious business. When I was a teacher, I used to teach the Systems Theory. When you look at it, you needed to look at the input and output.

Thank you very much. You need to start paying digital content tax for your new job. (Laughter) Chinese contractors have built roads with imported cement and yet, this country has the capacity to produce cement, employ many people, and use the local people and local resources to create wealth for...
