Indeed Afsar, we also welcome the budget as the measures are valid. However, we believe that the Minister of Finance should have explained that these measures address mainly the short to medium term in order to implement further measures going forward which, in the long run, will provide the necessary tools to face the future. One of the biggest problems in society today is the rise of cancer patients. It turns out that tobacco is not the only triggering factor but that an excessive use of pesticides on fruits and vegetables is also detrimental to health. We are of view that this issue should be urgently addressed more so since the health cost to the government will escalate as a result. We also believe that there is a lack of serious measures for the concept "Maurice Ile Durable". A budget of only Rs 318 m was established for this project when it is really urgent to focus on the problems associated with the pollution of our beaches. We believe that it would have been constructive for the government to reduce the tax on cars emitting less carbon to encourage their use as this helps in the reduction of pollution.
