Yes, the comment is the recruits at the airport, some of them are male and some of them are female. And yes, they do have f emales doing everything.

I think th e Member is, I would say, unintentionally misleading everyone in terms of her explanation or intimation of payroll tax. It is incorrect in terms of the Budget Book. It clearly shows that anyone who earns less than $132,000 will actually save. So the idea t hat someone having two jobs, $48,000 plus $48,000, it is entirely incorrect.

The point is that the local economy consists of International Business and local businesses, and the PLP Government at this stage are responsible for the entire economy. And to try to say that we should not be dealing with the Interna-tional Busin ess, absolutely makes no sense. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, the Premier has already in his capacity as Minister of Finance talked about the rates, and so the comments in terms of nobody being able to afford [ to live ] at Morgan’s Point is actually totally inaccurate.

Oh, sorry. Today, Mr. Speaker, I am going to stand as a proud person who grew up in St. George’s. When the Budget was actually proposed, or stated, it caused me to go back i n my mind and think about the fact that in St. George’s, right, we have all these people who are, not characters, but they are …

Yes, Albari. —Ms. Patrice Minors . And so today, Mr. Speaker, I am going to go through what I call “they say.” So, they say, Mr. Speaker, that a balanced budget should be easy to do.

Mr. Speaker, one of my colleagues always says that we are entitled to our opinions but we are not entitled to our own facts. The facts must be the facts and this document, in some respects, is factually incorrect. It is not my opinion; it is factually incorrect. So I do not know how that will be corrected. 400 24 …
