¶ 01 Certainly. As you noted, energy security is our first priority. The amendments have been drafted accordingly. On time constraints, our aim is success, not repeating earlier errors such as rushing with printing mistakes and creating problems. This is a national matter and a Government responsibility. If there are shortcomings, present them; we will consider and complete this to ensure energy security. Thank you for your views.
