Thank you. On page C -5, under Ministry of Public Works, we see here the grant for the Corporation of St. George’s. We can see that it has been reduced.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And so, it is troubling for all of us to witness and to be able to see where our young people are exhibiting these antisocial behaviours.
