Hon. (Dr.) Shaban Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thought I have been given 20 minutes. I am just going through all the important points. People are looking at it as if it is something very light and yet it is not.

Hon. (Dr.) Shaban Hon. Deputy Speaker, the different thematic areas had recommendations at different levels. If people were listening, they would have got the gist of the matter. (Loud consultations)
