Sir, I fully realise that my proposals may carry with it certain implications that may have to be carefully examined. I would, however, like to think that the spirit of my proposals is no different from that of the motion before this Council and, that is, to improve the compensation scheme so as to better the welfare of the people working in the construction and quarry industries. It is with this common objective that I urge the Government to give the proposals its sympathetic consideration.
With this remarks, Sir, I support the motion.
