It’s real. And it will continue. And it is not for any particular reason other than the fact that everything is so expensive that everybody is desperate, desperate, to hold on to what few pennies are circulating throughout this Island. So when people ask me, Well, what are you going to do? Aside from the fact that I would really …

Yes, I am basically just restating what has been said many times before. But if we can take care of our country, all we have to do is look inward for just a little bit. Not only will we maybe attract tourists here because we do have a precious, precious piece of geography that people want to come here. We …

Mm-hmm. Yes. Hon. Michael H. Dunkley: If we really care, and I would hope that 20 people on the Government benches reached out to him and talked to him. Because that would be a good thing to do.

Good morning, Mr. Speaker. My question is focusing again back on the employment of contractors. And I was looking through the Code of Conduct for Ministers, the Ministerial Code of Conduct. And in there it does mention or state that, “In appointing a paid adviser, the Minister must ensure that there is no conflict of interest” and that “all . …

Yes, a supplementary, Mr. Speaker. It is section 9, Advisers and Consultants. And that the Cabinet Ministers must get approval (I am not reading verbatim here) for consultants as well as advisors. So I would like some clarity as to how and who had knowledge that a conflict of interest this close, being a husband and wife, was allowed to …

—to my age today, which is in the seniors category, my question is and it still remains, What responsibility is going to be placed on those in positions of authority to actually do something to stop the harassment and catcalling? It is fine to have a PR campaign about how we have created this law. We already know that no …

I would like to send condolences to the family and friends of Birgitte Dill. She was affectionately known as Bitten Dill and was the mother of our bishop, Nicholas Dill. An amazing legacy of fam-ily.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good morning, Members and the listening public. I just had one question for the Minister.

Are there any particular areas within the Str ategy that she has highlighted …
