Sure. Understanding that the issue of youth violence has been mentioned in the House on numerous occasions, I understand that there would be a strategic plan that would involve consulting with relevant authorities, local and abroad. And with that in mind, the same way that the Fire Service had a review with persons coming over, there would have been some …

Understanding anecdotally and as reported the current measures are not meeting their objective, which is decreasing the incidence of youth violence. So in terms of the strategic plan, what are the implementation targets, the specific measurables that we are trying to achieve, and what are those deadlines that we are trying to achieve? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What I am speaking about is essentially our attitudes as it relates to the safety and security of persons in this community.

I will. I will. I have got more to offer. So, getting back to the issue of youth violence and the increase in serious crimes, we accept that that is an issue. We know that adverse childhood ex-periences if these children do not get the requisite treatment services are going to continue down the path towards a life of criminality. …

Well, I suspect that is going to happen. I am suggesting that when we are talking about a fairer Bermuda we need to do everything in our power to make it safer first. Otherwise, we are not going to have a fairer Bermuda at all. Tell that to the families who have lost their [children] through violence. Tell them that …

Mr. Premier, sir. Statements are being made about the health of the economy in Bermuda. And a number of indicators would suggest that that is actually the case. However, when we have not had audited financial statements in quite a long time, how are we or the public to truly believe that this is actually the case?

Thank you for the clarification, Mr. Speaker.
