Thank you very much. And certainly, to just respond to the Minister’s assertions, it would be my intention and certainly any kind of fee increase is directed toward those who visit our Island.

Clearly no one has. Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: Yes. The Honourable Member is not clear on what she actually means. But we actually have taken the action. We have reviewed the process.
