First, I would like to ask Member Park Chan-dae, who was elected as the Chairperson of the National Assembly Steering Committee, to come forward and say a few words. [APPLAUSE] I would like to ask the respected Speaker Won Sik and senior fellow Members.

I am Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. It is abnormal for the National Assembly to ignore the National Assembly Act, and it is normal for the National Assembly to comply with the National Assembly Act. Therefore, today will be recorded as a day when the National Assembly is normalized. The 22nd National Assembly should be completely different from the 21st National Assembly, and I believe everyone will agree on that. As the chairman of the parliamentary operations committee, I feel a heavy responsibility to create a National Assembly that reflects the public sentiment in the general elections, firmly check the power, meticulously examine the livelihoods, and practice to make the people feel the efficacy of politics. Once again, I deeply thank the senior colleagues and fellow members who have elected me as the chairman of the parliamentary operations committee. I will faithfully fulfill the duties entrusted to me as the chairman. Thank you. Thank you, Chairman Park Chan-dae, for your hard work. Next, Member Jung Chung-rae has been elected as the chairman of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee.

Please come out and greet [APPLAUSE]. Respected Speaker Woo Won-sik, senior colleagues, and fellow members of the National Assembly, this is Jung from the Democratic Party. I am grateful to the lawmakers who have entrusted me with the position of the Chair of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, which is lacking in many aspects. The National Assembly creates laws, and laws become the compass of the Republic of Korea. The National Assembly creates laws, and it must be the first to exemplary comply with them. The Legislation and Judiciary Committee must do so even more. If the laws made by the National Assembly are not upheld by the National Assembly itself, who will respect and follow the laws made by the National Assembly? We must first acknowledge the authority of the law starting from the National Assembly and uphold the respect and honor of the law. The Legislation and Judiciary Committee will operate in accordance with the National Assembly Act and as prescribed by the National Assembly. I will do my best to become a model Legislation and Judiciary Committee together with the ruling and opposition lawmakers on the committee [APPLAUSE]. Thank you. Chairman Jung Cheong-rae, thank you for your hard work. Next, Member Kim Young-ho, who has been elected as the Education Committee Chair, please come out and greet.

Please give a round of applause. Honorable Speaker Woo Won-sik, senior colleagues, and members of the parliament, I am Kim Young-ho, elected as the Chairman of the Education Committee in the National Assembly just now. I have served as the secretary of the 21st Education Committee and will now work in the 22nd National Assembly's Education Committee. Education, which is the foundation of the future, is losing its essence and stability. To address the increasingly serious issue of declining academic performance, education must change. The National Assembly will take the lead in innovating education in South Korea. As the Chairman of the Education Committee in the first half of the 22nd National Assembly, I will prioritize bridging the gap between private education and public education and normalizing public education. I will strive to ensure equal learning rights for people with disabilities, regardless of disabilities, by enacting laws such as the Lifelong Education Act for the Disabled. I will also prepare bills for student rights and school recovery to promote a warm educational community.

We will think more about finding solutions to the unstable reserve integration issue. In particular, I would like to make it clear that we will deal decisively with the unfair exercise of power and privileges that cause educational inequality and injustice. I will do my best as the chairman of the education committee in the National Assembly to create a safe and pleasant learning environment for our children so that they can pursue their dreams happily. Thank you. Chairman Kim Young-ho, thank you for your hard work. Next, I would like to ask Congressman Choi Min-hee, who has been elected as the chairman of the Science, Technology, Information, and Communication Committee, to come up and say hello. Respected senior colleagues, fellow members, and Mr. Chairman, I am Congressman Choi Min-hee, who has been appointed as the chairman of the Science, Technology, Information, and Communication Committee. I will work hard with a heavy sense of responsibility. It is a great honor to be elected as the chairman at this crucial time. This is to prevent the control of broadcasting and to ensure broadcasting freedom.

I am well aware that it means to protect and develop ICT information communication technology and become a true advanced country in science. I ask for a lot of help and encouragement in the future. I will work hard. Thank you. Chairman Choi Minui, thank you for your hard work. Next, Member Shin Jung-hoon, who has been elected as the Chairman of the Administration and Safety Committee, please come forward and greet [Applause]. Dear respected citizens, senior colleagues, and fellow members, as well as the Speaker, I, Shin Jung-hoon, a member of the National Assembly from the Democratic Party of Korea, have been elected as the Chairman of the National Assembly's Administration and Safety Committee. First of all, I sincerely thank the members who have put their hearts into selecting me as the Chairman of the National Assembly's Administration and Safety Committee, and I consider it a great honor. As the Chairman of the Administration and Safety Committee, I want to solve the problem of the embankment in a state of crisis.

There is a serious issue of regional imbalance and population decline, facing the imminent threat of local extinction. Our National Assembly has a pressing task that cannot be delayed any longer. It is time to confront the misguided administration that was deluded by the empty dream of making Gimpo like Seoul during the era of magnolia blossoms. I believe it is time to directly confront the issue of local extinction through balanced development between the capital region and local areas, narrowing the urban-rural gap, and advancing decentralization. It is time to do our best to create a safe country where we no longer worry about unfortunate incidents like the Itaewon tragedy or the Osong underground tunnel tragedy. I believe we should strive for a country where living in local areas also guarantees dreams and hopes, ensuring the safety and happiness of all citizens. I want to create this country together with all of you. Your support and guidance are greatly appreciated. Thank you. [Applause] Thank you, Chairman Shin Jung-hoon, for your hard work. Next, I would like to ask Chairman Jeon Jae-soo, who has been elected as the Chairman of the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee, to come up and say a few words.

Ladies and gentlemen, Chairman Woo Won-sik and senior colleagues, I am Representative Jun Jae-soo from Buk-gu, Busan. I am deeply grateful for entrusting me with the heavy responsibility of being the chairman of the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee, even though I am lacking. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for that. I promise to put all my passion as the chairman of the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Committee to create new vitality in South Korea and to be a source of strength for the lives of the people, even if it's just a tiny bit. Thank you. Thank you very much. Chairman Jun Jae-soo, thank you for your hard work. Next, I would like to ask Chairman Eo Gi-gu, who has been elected as the chairman of the Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, Food, Oceans, and Fisheries Committee, to come up and say hello. Thank you. Respected Chairman Woo Won-sik, members of the parliament, and senior colleagues, I am Representative Eo Gi-gu from Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do. I am lacking in many ways, but I am grateful for being entrusted with the important role of being the chairman of the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee in the first half of the 22nd National Assembly.

I sincerely thank you. There is nothing more important than living a healthy life. I am responsible for the fundamental issues of the National Assembly's Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries Committee. However, these days, our people who produce healthy food do not realize the importance of their work. They are farming amidst many worries such as climate crises like high costs, heatwaves, and floods, as well as the influx of imported agricultural products. Urgent action is needed for this. Although I will do my best in the National Assembly, there are many pending issues. As the Chairperson of the Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries Committee in the first half of the 22nd term, I will faithfully carry out the authority and responsibility to strengthen our country's food self-sufficiency and save our rural areas and farmers. Sincerely thank you. Chairman Eogi Koo, thank you for your hard work. Now, I would like to ask newly elected Chairman Jumin Park to come up and say hello. Respectfully, Speaker Won-sik Woo.

And to my senior colleagues, Seoul Eunpyeong Congressman Park Joo-min, I sincerely thank you for electing me as the Chairman of the Health and Welfare Committee. I truly feel a heavy sense of responsibility and am concerned about whether I can do well. There are many tasks that the parliament must take the lead on, such as pension reform and medical school expansion issues. Especially in the welfare sector, which is closely related to the lives of citizens in terms of health, care, and safety, I feel an even greater sense of responsibility. Currently, South Korea is facing numerous crises, such as widening wealth gaps, extreme low birth rates due to insufficient social safety nets, and a sharp increase in social vulnerabilities due to industrial restructuring. I believe that the parliament should play a crucial role in the face of these crises that threaten the very existence of South Korea. As the Chairman of the Welfare Committee, for the people...

I will do my best to make each day better and to have hope that complaints and so on can be resolved. Thank you. Chairman Park Joo-min, thank you for your hard work. Next, I would like to ask Representative Ahn Ho-young, who has been elected as the Chairman of the Environment and Labor Committee, to come up and say hello. Yes. Respected Speaker of the National Assembly Woo Won-sik, senior colleagues, and fellow members, I am Ahn Ho, a representative from Wanju, Jinan, and Muju in Jeollabuk-do. First of all, I sincerely thank all the members who have given me the opportunity to work as the Chairman of the Environment and Labor Committee in the National Assembly. The environmental rights and labor rights of the people of South Korea are the most fundamental values guaranteed by the Constitution. The nation, especially in the field of the environment, must swiftly transition to a carbon-neutral society beyond the climate crisis to ensure that these fundamental rights are realized.

I believe that we need to create a respectful labor-respecting society. To achieve this, I will listen to the voices of the people, reflect the difficulties on the field in policies, and do my best to create an environment where people can feel the effectiveness of policies. I am lacking in many aspects, so I ask for your generous support. Thank you. [APPLAUSE] Chairman An Hoyoung, thank you for your hard work. Next, Member Maeng Sungkyu, who has been elected as the Chairman of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, please come up and greet us. [APPLAUSE] Respected Chairman and honorable members, I am Member Maeng Sungkyu, who focuses on the development of the Cheon Sohae Port in my region. I thank the members who have elected me to take on the important role of the Chairman of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee. This committee covers issues such as speculative apartment purchases, housing problems, transportation issues, and even the balanced development of South Korea.

I will do my best to resolve these issues wisely by utilizing my work experience. When I entered the National Assembly, I realized that the experience in the public sector is like riding a low-altitude airplane and never seeing the ground, which I believe is a shortcut to leading social change. I will actively communicate and cooperate with the members to address the current issues. I will strive to create a better country. Thank you. Chairman Maeng Sung-kyu, thank you for your hard work. Next, I would like to ask Representative Park, who has been elected as the Chairman of the Budget Settlement Special Committee, to come forward and greet us. Dear Speaker of the National Assembly Woo Won-sik, senior colleagues, and fellow members, I am Park, a member of the National Assembly from Paju, Gyeonggi Province. First of all, I sincerely thank the senior colleagues and fellow members who appointed me, despite my shortcomings, as the Chairman of the National Assembly's Budget Settlement Special Committee. After serving as the secretary of the budget settlement in 2022, I have returned to the position of chairman after two years. Thank you.

I would like to express my determination to make every effort to ensure that the experience of that time can be achieved in a way that prioritizes the livelihood of the people on the side of the nation, peacefully and justly. Over the past three years, the fiscal policy of the Yun Seok government can be described as a policy that has left the country worried and the people's livelihoods empty. Under the pretext of improving fiscal soundness, they cut budgets for essential areas such as regional currency, job creation, R&D, and strengthening health insurance coverage, resulting in fiscal soundness being secured. Due to the error of reducing taxes for the rich, tax revenue shortfalls occurred, amounting to 53 trillion won in 2022 and 56.4 trillion won in 2023. It is predicted that there will be a shortfall in tax revenue this year as well due to the low corporate tax revenue. The government's misguided fiscal policy is causing the most significant hardships for the livelihood economy, suffering from high interest rates, and exchange rates.

Impact is being made. The store's debt has reached 188.28 trillion won as the government tries not to take on debt. This figure is nearly 21 trillion won higher than the store's debt in 2021, which was 182.1 trillion won. Bold changes are needed. The Ministry of Economy and Finance and government ministries are currently preparing next year's budget. I earnestly urge the government not to create a budget that empties people's lives under the pretext of fiscal soundness. As the chairman of the Budget Settlement Special Committee of the 22nd National Assembly, I promise to do my best to create a budget that fills people's lives next year. I ask for the cooperation of senior colleagues. I especially appeal more strongly to the Presidential Office and the people to show a strong determination to secure a budget for people's lives. [APPLAUSE] Thank you. Thank you, Chairman Park Jung, for your hard work.
