 Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Of course it would not be fair for me not to mention the importance of this initiative for the people that I also represent in Castry's office as well as the people associated with the work of the Ministry of Equity. Mr. Speaker, the bell fund that was established and of course the former Prime Minister, the member for view for South Mid, referenced to the number of agencies that were established under his watch. And this micro loan business, the James Bell Grave, is so important in the scheme of things and we have not put on display the extent to which James Bell Grave has contributed to the economy. There's not been any study on it. But there are a lot of flourishing businesses around Castry's and they started off with James Bell Grave. There are many, many, many successful businesses and that's where they started. But sadly to report Mr. Speaker that James Bell Grave under the past administration was allowed to get rejected or thrown out or deregistered and currently fully ages chamber we are trying to put it back. Not only that it was deregistered, it was also placed on the third floor of a building in not Blue Coral that is Gablewoods Mall. Gablewoods Mall on the third floor and you only have access to free flights of stairs and downstairs that building they put fast cash. You know, so you know, where was it before? Okay it was wherever it was in Leslie it was more accessible and of course it used to be somewhere by by Bernard Hill. It was closer to the to the business area where ordinary people could have access to it. But I rise to speak to the essence of the presentations media today Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker this discussion is sometimes sounds very mechanical like we are just doing things. We organize in small business. We are coming here to package to take care of vulnerable population. These initiatives are wrapped with one we understand the dignity of our people. We believe they have a right to survival and we love them. So this is this is about caring for our population. Sometimes when I listen to how it's being presented the people may just believe that is the rudiments of just sitting down in cabinet. No, there is a passionate concern for the ordinary people of censorship by this government and when we sit and believe nighttime late at night is because we are planning to care for them. The people must notice and therefore the presentation made by the two presentations made today as it relates to vulnerable people as well as small businesses. This is a gift. This is our concern. This is love for people. And I tell St. Louisians as I've experienced I'm not a business person. You know train as a surveyor but admire business people. I offer service but those persons will put their trees by the market and they consistently put it out for day in and day out for many years. I admire them. I tried when I was younger to sell Akis just for the summer and I could not even spend a day because I used to hear the fellas playing football by Marsha and while I sit down by Shoseiro selling Akis I would sell it quickly as possible if it's 10 for one cents I'd give more so I could go and play my football. You know when I get home my mother used to say Messewafin van when she checked the money she would know what happened. But I'm saying that I admire people by the market. Discipline day in and day out selling to make a living and there is a love for our people. We admire them. When we pass by and we watch them doing their thing we have a love for them and we want to help them. When we pass and we see the small shops going through their struggles we sit in cabinet we reflect on them we care about them and we prepare for them and we offer because of the dignity and the rights as St. Lucian's the rights so Nupavin fair Lashawitay by you Nupavin vin fair Korsi the way say a bagai Nuka just Nuka fair by you Paskai Nukwe the only a Dua we Suveek Nuh e mepepei seplissi Saipoto and it is very important because we want St. Lucian's to appreciate what we're trying to do and we also want them to up to accept it as a right they have a right to be solved because somehow the other one I grew up in this country there was a time I thought that it was only some set of solutions that had to be solved and sometimes when you you you at school you sort of behavior of certain persons that at school I met them and there's some behaviors I've seen in politics it's not new to me I saw that school I saw the same behavior at school certain things some some something about some philosophers say that we grow old but we do not change much and sometimes I tend to believe it you understand but it's important for ordinary St. Lucian's ordinary St. Lucian's to understand these today that the presentations and how we catering for them we're not doing it mechanically like moving asses like Nuka just for bye bye you know this thing is wrapped with love caring the dignity must be in that and the rights the rights and I just say if you fail do not worry try again because sometimes our people are afraid especially young people are afraid to get on to to try something because they're afraid to fail the biggest fear sometimes is to be afraid to fail you try and you try again and mr. Speaker more concerning for me based on my my recent participation in the O.S. in listening to presentation by one scientist who said that currently machines are responsible for approximately 40 percent of labor and humans are doing 60 percent by but by the year 2030 it will be 50-50 it means therefore the world is changing as it relates to machines and somehow the other COVID has actually caused certain professions to disappear I know the center that the Dominican Republic is doing a study on it to find out what jobs have disappeared as a result of COVID but COVID has messed up the economy that some jobs will not return some businesses will not return our people are coming to us because they want to be employed and the best and most dignified way to deal with poverty is to give persons jobs that is why I heard the the the member for the former leader of the opposition said that we must grow the economy first to take care of the poor if you have no people you can't have no country you can't take care of your people how what do you grow you must do both what is necessary you understand if you have a home with children you must take care of your children and you will still go to work and provide and pay the bills you cannot say that I'll go to work and leave the children hungry no in small island developing states it's important that while we grow the economy we must invest in the population because what is on the horizon is scary for most developing countries one climate change to there seem to be a growing issue of unemployment we're likely to see a lot more professions disappear and the new professions are coming on stream as a result of the big data we must prepare our population for taking advantage how best do you do this you must invest in our population so the small business support this is not about the construction of of hotels that is needed I understand that but this is different this is to the heart of the population of San Lucia this is the heart to our development this is to the security of San Lucia when we do such investment and I want to applaud the Prime Minister and members of cabinet for doing it with the love and the passion and understanding that we care we love and we're going to we want to maintain and in some instances restore the dignity and pride of San Lucia especially ordinary solutions because they have a stake in this country thank you mr. speaker
