It is important, Mr. Speaker . . . We have a really good gallery in the back there. They have been waiting to hype up there. They are all together there. They are having a good time over there. I love them too. But what I am about, Mr. Speak er, is I am more for making Government more efficient. …

Well then, fine. If you want to take all the responsibility —I hear the peanut gallery down there —then get on with it. It is not done.

Yes. And we are going to get interpolations from the Premier about nothing changed. But it is under the OBA that we were able to raise revenues at a rate and fill up Grand Atlantic that has sat empty, for what? The last 12 years now.

Okay. So, “he did not say that.” All right. Well, Mr. Speaker, let me just read another quote from this particular [person]. “According to PwC research” . . . this is another one I am going to read.

I believe that the Premier’s head is in the sand when it comes to the realities of what is going on in this country. People are leaving. Our youths are killing themselves at an alarming rate.
