¶ 01 Very well, Hon. Deputy Chairperson.

¶ 02 Volunteers and engineers are coming forward. We are at a turning point: the era of working for money is over; now intellectuals are serving voluntarily to build the nation. Look at the front bench—the Cabinet combines theory and practical knowledge to execute the recovery plan. I conclude on that note. Thank you.
