Okay. I wi ll go over to this page then, some of the more important things here. He talked about targeted sales tactics, and he is talking about international and local customers. I was wonder-ing if the Minister could tell us what they have been say-ing, the local and the international customers. What have they been saying with these new …

Yes. Thank you very much. Just very quickly, on page B -245, under bus iness unit 30065, Sports Investment Programme. I have always said that, quite frankly, we do not put enough money into our sporting bodies when we have Bermuda producing such high standards of sport smen. So, I was just curious about the second to last item there, …

Thank y ou, Mr. Speaker. Supplementary. Does that also extend to livestock, chickens, production of beef and the likes as well? That it is growing or . . . Hon. Walter H. Roban: Those are areas which I do not believe have necessarily expanded over recent years. In fact, perhaps, I think we all can attest that there has been …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to add my sentiments to the Hodgson family on the passing of Arthur. What a lot of people didn’t know was that he was very close to our family. Coming out of Bailey’s Bay, m y mother is a Bailey’s Bay girl, and they grew up together. I was hauled into his office, …

So, again, a great man and I appreciate the fact that he was proactive in calling me out and saying, Listen, come in. I want to have a chat with you.

Okay. Thank you very much. An hour and 30 minutes? Okay. Thank y ou very much. Let me first off start by saying that the Minister continues to give an exhaustive and thorough review of this particular Ministry, which has several heads in it. And I think what I want to really say is that I do not think we …

So I also noticed that he received $6 million more in his budgeting, which is a good thing, Madam Chairman. As we look at the heads of Public Works, Head 36 and its mandate, I think this particular Ministry needs more access to funding because we have a challenge. We have a massive, massive challenge right now. And one of …

He is grinning. So welcome. I am glad the Minister is taking you on. You are amongst good people over there, okay? All right. So, if I can go to page B -213 as we get into the debate here, and just getting clarification on certain matters. We can see very clearly that there has been an increase in the …

And I am replying to the in itial statement that the Minister mentioned, many of these things, that Public Works is a major job creator and in charge of infrastructure development. And it is all about empowering entrepreneurial opportunities as well, because what happens is on our beaches and the like we have people who are entrepreneurial and they are …

Sorry. Page B -218, the performance measures. If I go over to the performance measures there, the Minister mentioned that the Ministry had identified 120 people for safety and health, which I brought up before. What I wasn’t clear on was [if] that [was] just within the Ministry, because I note that health and safety could be across the board. …

Again, on page B -218. E nsure employee files are completed within three weeks of start date. This does not reflect here, but if you take a look at last year’s book, it is an improvement from six weeks. I don’t know if that was intentional or not, but it is a sign of efficiency that is taking place there. …

I’m sorry. Staffing is on page B-223. And it says 12. For some reason I thought we had 20- something lifeguards. Did we reduce it to 12? Or has it always been there? I don’t know why I thought it was much higher than that. But, anyhow, suffice it to say, are we at looking at broadening the number of …
