 Mr. Speaker, if you'll allow me, it slipped me in my first presentation to congratulate District 7, which is actually the district that shows up in the library for coming second in all of the districts on the island in the CPA exams. I realized the Minister of Education is out, so on behalf of the constituents of Shorzell Soldiers, I want to congratulate all the schools in our district, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister in his presentation suggests that the opposition will be looking for all kind of reasons not to support this resolution, this motion, Mr. Speaker. But I'm flogged assed because why would anyone, Mr. Speaker, not support a resolution that provides relief, Mr. Speaker? Why would anybody not support a resolution providing relief, Mr. Speaker? If anything, Mr. Speaker, I would admonish the Prime Minister for taking so long to provide that kind of relief, Mr. Speaker. Because, Mr. Speaker, particularly when we take into consideration, you know, the high cost of living and the price of fuel at the pump, Mr. Speaker. So two years, Mr. Speaker, definitely a bit too long in providing that kind of relief, Mr. Speaker. The Prime Minister quoted Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and he did indicate that one of the first priorities of human beings was food, which is very true, Mr. Speaker. And that is why I speak to the two-year gap, because because of the high cost of living, you find a lot of people with little resources, most of the resources when you do purchasing of food, and the galvanized that was leaking and the plywood that was rotting, you know, they did not have the kind of surplus to do that. So it may be a little too late, but I'm sure many people will still take advantage of what is being provided. So, Mr. Speaker, to say that the opposition will not support, I take opposition to that, Mr. Speaker. I also, Mr. Speaker, want to raise two matters that the Prime Minister raised. He said that his government has been the best government for businesses on the island, Mr. Speaker. And I want to remind the Honourable Prime Minister, which I have done before, that if former Minister of Commerce was responsible for removing that at the docks for manufacturers, something which the manufacturers had been clamoring for a very long time, and removed the prepayment of that at the docks for manufacturers to have them to pay it at a later date, which I believe was quite substantive as it relates to the needs of the manufacturers. I also want to remind the Prime Minister that the former Minister of Commerce was responsible for the Amendment to the Finance Act, where we know for so many years only two entities were enjoying various incentives, which was tourism and agricultural departments enjoying the incentives. And we opened that up to include several small businesses, which I'm very happy that the government is continuing with all of its MSME programs and everything like that to continue. So that, you know, we continue what is good. So we must indicate, you know, what is good, Mr. Speaker. But, Mr. Speaker, I just want to also recognize, it was very glaring to me, for a period of two years, commenting from the second day of August 23 and then the first day of August 2025, the purchase lease of an aircraft for local and regional travel. And I'm sure the Prime Minister just coming from the Carrickham meeting, I'm sure one of the things that would have been on the table was the encouragement of people to invest in sea transportation, which is one of the areas that is lacking in the region of ferry or some fast-moving ferry to move from island to island. And I thought that it was, this was something that we should encourage for people to invest in to encourage that it will help with our movement of agricultural products from the islands, from Trinidad all the way up and down. So I think this is one area we must push to provide incentives for investors to go in. So I think it should be one of the areas that should be included in that exemption and even for a longer period because, you know, it would take some sort of investment, Mr Speaker. The Prime Minister also made mention that the opposition would make fun of F96.19, sanitary towers, pads, tampons, napkins and similar articles of any material. Mr Speaker, Hansard will reflect that when we first came to this house to lay the paper regarding the levy, I stood and I asked a question to the Honourable Prime Minister and I indicated that one of the areas that I wanted clarification on was whether that 2.5 would apply to sanitary napkins for our women because I recognise, you know, the critical issues that would be surrounding many of the females because I had a struggle, all of us had struggles in our various communities with regards to some of the hardships, particularly women facing providing basic necessities. So to say that the opposition would make fun of that, Mr Speaker, I don't agree because I'm happy that the advice that I, the question that I put forward on that day and it has been brought into the VAT exam because from my understanding anything on the VAT exam will not attract the 2.5% levy, which will be discussing, you know, later on, Mr Speaker. So Mr Speaker, with these few words, I want to indicate that all of St. Lucia will welcome the exemptions that have been provided. It will also provide me as a parliamentary rep with a little more latitude to stretch the little monies that's coming from the Ministry of Housing. I know the first thing my colleagues from Gefort North will tell me is, but you are not giving us anything, we give you something, but it will help Mr Speaker in stretching the resources. And I'm hoping you add another similar amount to what I'm getting on that. So Mr Speaker, with these few words, I thank you.
