—and the likes. That is frustrating. But it is nice to see that it is in there. And then I turn over to page 11. Now, I do not know all of the incidents that speak to the issue of street harassment in Bermuda. This seems to be a specific event that took place which is why I believe it …

Yes. Yes. Just one question. On page 2, the Minister mentions about the currently 22 units that are awaiting Planning permission.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On page 2, the Honourable Minister with this, also another great initiative, mentioned that the progress toward developing this strategy going forward took a little more time than anticipated. And I guess I am assuming that when she says at the end of the par-agraph, “It was critical to involve people in the develop-ment of …

Yes. I guess I was looking for just a little more information. We will get into some of the questions in the clauses I guess then, so we can get a little more information. But the creation of a new industry in Bermuda is good. This is very much wel-comed by us. Although what we are looking for to un-derstand …

On clause 4 at page 4 we talk about “prohibited area or place” at the very bottom. “The Minister, after consultation with the licensing authority, may, by order, prohibit an area from containing . . .” And I guess I wanted to get a little more understanding as to what might be some of those prohibited places that the Minister …

Yes, Mr. Chairman. I am still confused as to . . . I think the question is, obviously we have areas that we would prefer nothing to happen, schools or whatever the case may be. You are talking about heat and the like, but you are not giving us . . . what is the guideline that the Minister has?

Large and small scale. And I was looking for a definition, and you mentioned the 150 litres for a small scale -type operation. Do you have an idea of what that space would take up to do something like that with a distillery, considering all of the mecha-nisms that have to be put in place? You know, heat and all …

Thank you again, [Mr. Chairman]. Yes.
