Mr President, I seek leave to make a one-minute statement.

Leave granted.

I want to make it perfectly clear on the record that the opposition does not oppose appropriate compensation to farmers. I do not want it to be allowed to be put post this process that the opposition opposes appropriate compensation to farmers for any project. This is purely and simply to put that matter on the record so that it cannot be said afterwards that that is what we opposed.
