Yes. And when I say that, Mr. Speaker, I mean, why were they not given to us in the article? I am quite sure that they will get this message that we have asked it.

Thank you. So, the Daniels family have a long history within St. George’s. And most of them, or some of them I grew up with. Richard was definitely around the age of my mother. So, I did not grow up with him. But I do want the family to know that they are in our thoughts and prayers as they …
