You said— Hon. E. David Burt: I was giving an example and r eferring to the Budget Book insofar as a head, but ins ofar as speaking to the specific supplementary estimate which we are dealing with, we are dealing with a $5.5 million supplem entary to Head 58 to cover additional work at four guarantees that were done. And …

Okay. Got it. Hon. E. David Burt: And it is an estimate. We may come over, and if we go over we will bring another supplementary. But it is an estimate because the one thing the Ministry of Finance does not want to do is to find itself short when it comes to dealing with these particular matters. But I …

One last question on this,

Will this be a practice going forward? Because the practice really is itemising it under the guarantee because it is an expense. And typically even also in our budgeting book we would allocate a certain amount for [INAUDIBLE] and we will have a revised amount, realising that, well, we did not quite come in where we expected it to be. …

Thank you, very much. Just to say thank you. I know it can be difficult sometimes as the Public Works Minister where u nforeseen things come up and then of course, obviously, we have to step in to assist in other ministries. So I am grateful for the team and the Minister for stepping in to provide this much- needed …

Under Head 09, Cabinet Office, if we could move over to page C -17 in the Budget Book, under Cabinet Office Departments, you will see unit number 6835, Tourism Authority grant. I just have a few questions in that area if you will, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you very much. I noticed that the original estimate and the r evised estimate both equal the same—$21.5 million. And the estimate for 2022/23 is $20.04 million. And I was not quite sur e if the Premier . . . he read relatively quickly through his statement. I was trying to gather whether or not he said the total …

Great. Thank you. So, considering that the forecast total for i ncome is $28.6 million, I was tryin g to gather then, understanding from last year that it was about $7 million plus, that outside of the grant —the $21 million that was granted last year —with the $20 million this year being forecasted, I was hoping that the Premier …

Okay. So, I was just curious. Will any of the 170 cruise ship calls involve St. George’s in any kind of way? Understanding that we heard St. George’s has, as of late, felt a little left out, that they were not getting enough at tention. [I would like to know] whether or not the Tourism Authority is looking at any …

Yes. Of the cruise ships that he mentioned in his general statement, I just wanted to know if any were coming to St. George’s, to the port. Thank you.

I may have missed it. I stepped out a minute. I did ask a question about the cruise ship or a possible cruise ship for St. George’s.

My apologies. No, I am keenly aware of the number of cruise ships having been involved in it some time ago. But just again, looking for opportunities for St. George’s.
