Lovely. So the point I am making is when we are looking at value for money with this current administration and the result for the people of this Island, we are seeing increased costs. We are seeing increased violence. We are seeing less money in the pockets, and we are hearing about a balanced budget. But it is the how …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I echo the sentiments of Honourable Members in the House in reference to grief and loss that this community and the families have experienced. It is an absolute tragedy.

We have no casino at all, and the police need resources to actually do something about the violence. And we think this is a good use of re-sources for the people of this country. [Inaudible interjections]
