 Thank you Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I stand in support of the estimate of revenue and expenditure for 2023-2024 in the amount of $1,894,111,800 as presented by the Minister for Finance, which we are now discussing and debating $110,800 as presented by the Honourable Member. First of all, Mr. Speaker, let me give thanks to the Almighty for His grace and mercy. I want to thank this afternoon my constituent, Sufra Foshajak, for their confidence and for their support. Mr. Speaker, I want to place on record my thank you to the Honourable Prime Minister and to my cabinet colleagues for their continued support and for our focus on committing to improving the lives of the people of Sanctucia. I think Mr. Speaker, when I decided to be a candidate for the Sanctucia Labour Party, that decision was critical for me. The purpose of the team and the purpose, Mr. Speaker, from Dr. Antony to now the member for Cassress East is the focus of improving the lives of the people of Sanctucia. And for me, this is the singular purpose for being in politics, to serve the people and to improve the lives of the people of Sanctucia. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, I want to place on record my gratitude to my permanent secretary, the staff of the Ministry of Commerce, the CEOs of the allied agencies that fall under my ministry, which exports Sanctucia, Sanctucia Bureau of Standards, the Free Zone, and the respective staff members, Mr. Speaker. I also want to thank the various private sector bodies that I work with, and they are the Sanctucia Chamber of Commerce, the Sanctucia Manufacturers Association, the Sanctucia Small Business Association, the Vendors Association, the Fashion Council, and the National Consumers Association. I also want to place on record my thanks to my constituents, and especially Mr. Speaker, the men and women of the Sufra Police Station, the men and women of the Sufra Fire Service, the doctors, nurses and staff of the Sufra Hospital, the Itang Sanfonshechak Health Centers, the teachers at our various schools, secondary, primary, infant, and pre-schoolers, the executive and members of the Sufra Constituency Group, the staff, the chairman, board members, and staff of the Sufra Original Development Foundation, the mayor, councilor, and staff of the Sufra Constituency Council, the management and staff of the Piton Management Area, the management and staff of the Sufra Marine Management Association, the business community in Sufra, especially our hoteliers, for their support in community development, youth and sports, especially in Chasne, Jane Mountain. So, Mr. Speaker, back to the business at hand. Once again, Mr. Speaker, I come before you, indeed, before the citizens of our beloved country, and my constituents of Sufra Forsechak, as we seek to comply with our obligation to lay the estimates of expenditure and revenue for the coming fiscal year 2024-2025. Most importantly, Mr. Speaker, I come to account for my stewardship over the resources that has been entrusted to me and my ministry, and also as a parliamentary rep for Sufra Forsechak. I also want to speak on the previous financial year 2023, as well as to present a synopsis of the projects and initiatives which will comprise the work program for my ministry and constituent over the new financial year 2024-2025. In this regard, Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to note that the Minister of Commerce, at page 233 and 234 of these estimates, was assigned some $17,240,000 to implement its work program over the fiscal year. Of this amount, $12,688,000 has been provided to fund recurring expenditure relating to the operations as well as projects related to recurrent activities. This includes an additional $1,640,200 to manage the implementation of five projects being undertaken by the ministry, of which I will elaborate on subsequently. Mr. Speaker, with respect to the capital expenditure, some four million $552,000, and that is appearing on pages 233 and 234 of the projects of the estimates, has been programmed for this financial year for four projects. Mr. Speaker, I think I want to put this in the context of the mission of my ministry, and that mission is, Mr. Speaker, to actively promote and facilitate, together with the private sector, the establishment of a dynamic business environment, which anticipates changes in global circumstances, while strengthening and enhancing the productive capacity and competitiveness of industry and commerce, engaging good business practices and consumer interests. You may recall, Mr. Speaker, that in 2023 global inflation allowed a downward trajectory, was still above pre-Covid levels, and at that point inflation was at 6.3% Mr. Speaker. So all the information that we have now, and the figures that we have, I want us to put this into context. Mr. Speaker, on the other hand, 031 Enterprise Development Unit, we've been assigned $6,182,747, of which $3,750,462, which is project code 0394, has been programmed for our MSME loan grant facility under the management of SEDU, which is charged with providing support and business facilitation services to our MSMEs. Mr. Speaker, our MSME program, which is a flagship program for the ministry, we will discuss in a lot more detail during the second part on the policy statement, Mr. Speaker, but I want to note that so far, based on the figures that we've received, we have received 514 applications, Mr. Speaker, under the MSME loan grant program, and I must take a moment to give a breakdown of application by constituency, and I think that is important. It's important because, Mr. Speaker, the second calling for this MSME loan program will be the 2nd of April this year. So I really want members to listen to the numbers and to see what work you have to do on the ground to ensure that your members do benefit from that program. So leading the way is Rosillier with 99 applications. Sufra 61. Sufra 61, Mr. Speaker. And then we go on to Ansari Canaries 20, Babono 32, Castry Central 14, Castry East 31, Castry South 43, Castry South East 39, Swazil 27, Denry North 19, Denry South 7, Library 15, Miku North 20, Miku South 12, View Fort North 24, and View Fort South 16, Mr. Speaker. And the applications by sector, Mr. Speaker, Agriculture 61, Agro Processing 39, Agro Tourism 10, Beauty and Wellness 51, Creative Industries 50, ICT 13, Manufacturing 71, Professional Services 81, Restaurants 25, and we have Miscellaneous 112. So Mr. Speaker, from the first branch, we have disbursed 3.296 million dollars, Mr. Speaker, and 204 applicants have actually received those money, Mr. Speaker. I am saying this again, Mr. Speaker. I know that there are quite a few persons who have applied and have not received, and I'm telling them that we are in the process of ensuring that we communicate with each person so that if, for some reason, the application was denied, we can work with them to see whether they get into the second calling. Mr. Speaker, within the program, I want to speak on some of the other programs within our ministry, Mr. Speaker. On the code 0325 and that is page 236, we received some 156,640 dollars for our Small Business Development Center Young Entrepreneurs in Action, our year program. Mr. Speaker, when we compare this amount to what we received last year, last year we received 65,200 dollars, which is an increase of 131 percent, Mr. Speaker. Last year, we were able to have 40 students under this program, Mr. Speaker. So with this increase, we are hoping to increase the number of persons participating to 100 with this coming year. Mr. Speaker, on the commerce and industry, some of the other programs that we have here, we have what you call our Love Centrusha Campaign and also, thank you, Project Code 0452, page 236, Mr. Speaker. We received some, you see, 80,000 dollars to assist us in that campaign, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this particular project is extremely important for us because what it does, it is focus on trying to get solutions to buy local, Mr. Speaker. And when we see what is happening in the world as it relates to trade, it is extremely important that we raise the consciousness of our people, that they support our local entrepreneurs, Mr. Speaker. So this program, although it only has received 80,000 dollars, we really want to stretch that program and to raise the consciousness of solutions that we need to support local. It is only when we support our local entrepreneurs that this economy is going to go. Mr. Speaker, another aspect of commerce and industry that we have, and that is on Project Code 0395, where we have received EC 136,098 dollars, is our digital enhancement program, Mr. Speaker. And this program is a three-year program and we are in year three of the program, Mr. Speaker. But it is a program, again, that is extremely important to us because as commerce changes, we need to ensure that our small business persons embrace the digital technology that we embrace e-commerce, Mr. Speaker, because with e-commerce, the world becomes the marketplace. And we are doing quite a bit, and I want to take this moment that is thanks the Embassy of China, Taiwan, for the significant support that they presented to the ministry in terms of trying to work with our small business persons to ensure that they embrace technology. Mr. Speaker, under the Department of Consumer Affairs, and that is on page 245, I am pleased that we have received an increase for our National Consumers Association, Mr. Speaker. For the past 13 years, they've received an annual subvention of 25,000 dollars, and this year I want to thank the Minister for Finance for increasing this amount to 65,000 dollars, Mr. Speaker. The adverse effect of worldwide inflation on consumers are evident in the escalating cost of vital commodities, including food, transport and utilities. And in light of this, there is significant work to be done both by the Consumer Affairs Department and by the Ministry and by the National Consumers Association so that we can engage the consumers, talk about inflation, and what it is that we can do differently to stretch our dollar, Mr. Speaker. So I want to take this moment to thank the National Consumers Association for some of the appearances that they've made on television. They've actually got into a program. There's a talk show where they come in and provide explanation to the people. So I want to thank them, Mr. Speaker. So I move now, Mr. Speaker, to our Government Supply Warehouse. And Mr. Speaker, on page 235, project code 0535, there is an allocation of one million dollars, Mr. Speaker. And this million dollars, Mr. Speaker, is an effort to get a new location for the Government Warehouse, Mr. Speaker. The current location, there are significant challenges with the current location in terms of size, in terms of protection of the products that we have. So we are really trying to see whether we can move onto the valley, where we can get a larger place, because we have challenges, Mr. Speaker, in terms of our suppliers getting off 20-foot containers to 40-foot containers. So it is in the interest of the public that we get a larger space, that we can do a lot more stocking of the items that we have and protect it. So that is the purpose of this, Mr. Speaker. And while we speak on that, Mr. Speaker, I know later on in the policy debate, we will have a lot of conversation in terms of availability of rice, flour and sugar. But I want to put on our record that this Government for 2023-24, Mr. Speaker, subsidized those basic commodities to the tune of 11.5 million dollars, Mr. Speaker. That is important. 11.5 million dollars. That's the subsidy for rice, flour and sugar by this Government. So I want this to be placed on record, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, under division 032, Mr. Speaker, on page 238, you will also see there is an amount of $75,000 there. And the purpose of this amount, Mr. Speaker, is to see, explore, whether the subsidization of the warehouse is a viable option for us as a Government. So that is the $75,000 provision there so we can get a consultant and do the work that is required to come up with a solution for the warehouse. Mr. Speaker, on page 245, division 090, there is a provision for $150,000, Mr. Speaker. And the purpose of this amount is for a sovereign extension of the Ministry of Commerce, Mr. Speaker. We made a commitment to the business people in Viewfort that we will be opening an office and I am grateful that we now have a provision here for $150,000. We have identified a place and we are working with the Ministry of the Public Service, Mr. Speaker, to ensure that the Ministry of Commerce has a presence in Viewfort Town. Mr. Speaker, I move to the Department of Corporatives and Mr. Speaker, under the Department of Corporatives, I am pleased that we have a provision on the Heads 0454 for $275,000, Mr. Speaker. But first let me report on how we use the monies that we had for 2023-2024, Mr. Speaker. For 2023-2024, Mr. Speaker, our non-financial properties made strides and with the monies we received, we were able to assist three corporaties, Mr. Speaker, and they were Ansari, Souffre, and Denry Fisherman Corporaties, Mr. Speaker. And we assisted with the installation of energy-efficient equipment, air conditioning units, and also, for example, Souffre received an ice machine, Mr. Speaker. So now we have received another $275,000, Mr. Speaker, and I believe we have four corporaties who are going to benefit from this particular tranche, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the member for Viewfort South wants to know which four, Mr. Speaker. So let me see, Reagan. Yeah. The number, we are going to deal with solarization of Fisher corporaties. I was just trying to see where I have them. I'll come back to it, member, and I will inform you. But I also want to say, Mr. Speaker, that I want to thank the Minister for Equity and the Minister for Agriculture, Mr. Speaker. So because my ministry, working with their ministry, have been able to assist some 89 of our members of corporaties with benefiting from having access to the COVID-19 pandemic support of $1,500, Mr. Speaker. So some 89 of our corporate, of our corporative members will be receiving the $1,500. So I want to thank members of this. Mr. Speaker, while I wait for that information, export, I want to speak about our national export strategy, which is a critical issue, Mr. Speaker, for St. Lucia. And I am pleased that on page 245 Division 090, some $92,000 was provided for us to facilitate the appointment of a coordinator to implement our national export strategy, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there is one responsibility that has been given to me and to the Ministry of Commerce by the Honourable Prime Minister. And that responsibility is to commence an industry with the cannabis industry, Mr. Speaker. And we have done significant work in that regard, Mr. Speaker. But I want to bring you to page 236 on the Project Code 0453, where there is some $800,000, Mr. Speaker. And that this amount, Mr. Speaker, has been placed there to fund the operation of the regulated substance authority, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when we started working on the cannabis issue of the cannabis bill, Mr. Speaker, we found it necessary, after much discussion and research, to come first before this Honourable House with a regulated substance authority bill, Mr. Speaker, which was passed in this Honourable House. Thank you. Which was passed in this Honourable House, Mr. Speaker. So now I am pleased that we have some $800,000 in the budget so that this authority will have the, will come into being, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I must tell you that a board has been appointed. And just last week, Mr. Speaker, we went further to having what you call a Caribbean cannabis symposium so that we can focus on the second part of the issue, which is to finalize the cannabis bill, Mr. Speaker, and to see how we can bring this to fruition. So, Mr. Speaker, I believe, let me see. No, that's not the issue. It has to be on the Minister of Commerce. So, Mr. Speaker, this Mr. Speaker is my reporting of the performance of my ministry. And now with your guidance, Mr. Speaker. With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I will turn to my constituency. Mr. Speaker, for 2023, my mission of working collaboratively with my constituent in transforming the constituent of Souffre for Cheshire continued with much bigger and passion. Our 2021 timeline together, let us transform Souffre for Cheshire, remain more relevant today than yesterday. So, Mr. Speaker, for the year on the review, the constituency of Souffre for Cheshire, sorry, received much help from our community development program, which is the CDP, Mr. Speaker. And what I'm going to do now, Mr. Speaker, with your permission is to report on how we used our CDP last year and then to say what we propose to do in addition to some of the other items under the budget head, how we are going to implement them, Mr. Speaker. So, I will do this under the subheading, Infrastructure Development, Educational and Skills Development Program, Agricultural Development, Housing Improvement, Business Development, Community and Cultural Development, Tourism Development, Economic Development. Mr. Speaker, I will attempt to give details of each program executed in the constituency under the CDP. And most of them, Mr. Speaker, I had to get support from other funders. Infrastructure Development, the following projects are undertaken, some are seen in progress. And I will say, Mr. Speaker, at the beginning, we focused on safety of our people and we started at the, in Mini-Fanchejat, an area that is very prone to landslide. And we did extensive infrastructural drainage work in Mini-Fanchejat, Mr. Speaker. Then we moved on with the help again from the Ministry of Infrastructure. We did the installation of guardrails on the Fanchejat main road, on the Soufra main road, Soufrakasseries main road, and part of the Fanchejat road to Myers Bridge, Mr. Speaker. Because knowing Soufra, we had quite a few areas that are very precarious. And we felt we needed to do this. So I want to take this moment to thank the member for Kasseries North, Mr. Speaker, for facilitating these infrastructural works. Mr. Speaker, we moved to three. We focused on recreation and wellness. We did the renovation of the Fourbenet park. Phase one is completed. And phase two, we'll start shortly. We went on to the construction of the new development park out of the gym. And again, phase one has commenced. We've support from the NIC. We've provided the equipment for the gym and some funding. And phase two, Mr. Speaker, will be funded by the... Phase two will be funded from CDP, Mr. Speaker. Construction of a free classroom structure at the SCSS, Mr. Speaker. And that was funded through the support of the Minister for Finance, Mr. Speaker. We had the renovation of a wing of the Soufra Primary School. And that, Mr. Speaker, was done through the Ministry of Equity under the BMTF program, Mr. Speaker. We had a renovation of the food and nutrition room at the SCSS, Mr. Speaker. And that was funded with CDP and with some support from Anshasne, Jade Mountain, Mr. Speaker. And on the community development, we constructed a community center at Bhutan. And there we use CDP funded, Mr. Speaker. And this year, God willing, under the CDP program, we will be purchasing the food and nutrition equipment for that center, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, let me just interrupt this to reply to the member for Viewfort, for Viewfort South. So, the works, Mr. Honorable Member, Free Societies, Goodwill Fishermen, Property for Grosile, Labry, Fishers, a new fishing complex in Miku, and where is Viewfort now? The project will also address electrical work and preliminary repairs at Goodwill Fishermen Cooperative. That's Viewfort. Viewfort South. So, why are you a little happier with me now? So, yes. So, it's Viewfort, Grosile, Labry. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, back to constituency work. You are most welcome. Educational and Skills Development Program, Mr. Speaker. Again, using CDP funds, we instituted an after-school program in collaboration with the Sufra Regional Development Foundation, and there are some 80 children are benefitting, and they are from Sufra, Foshechak, Itang, from my CDP. Each time I look at the CDP, I just ask the Lord to bless it just as it blesses the bread, and that's what I do. I multiply that a lot, multiply that a lot. Mr. Speaker, when I think in terms of education, I think about the back-to-school assistance that was provided to our students, and that was done through Ministry of Equity, where 462 students got assistance back to school. Parents received some 300 dollars if they had one child, 500 dollars for two children, and if they have three or more, they received some 700 dollars, Mr. Speaker. With the SSDF, this came to about 150,600 dollars, and in addition to that, through the SRGF, which is the Sufra Regional Development Foundation, an additional 281 students received back-to-school assistance, again totaling some 229,395, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I'm saying all of this to state that under head 51, with some 55 million dollars, I look forward for some similar support for my students for this coming here, Mr. Speaker. Again, Mr. Speaker, under education, using my CDP again, some 21 young men and two ladies, they received training to become certified both captains, Mr. Speaker. That's important for us, Mr. Speaker, so some of those persons, what we're doing now is to help them apply for support under the youth program, the youth economy program, Mr. Speaker, and to see where we can help them start and become owners of their own boats. Mr. Speaker, under education again, with CDP and with the help of cupboard cares, we trained some 40 young persons registered in accounting course 101, Mr. Speaker. 26 participants were successful in the accounting course, and they have now moved to start another course called consumer customer service and critical thinking, Mr. Speaker. And the objective of this training program is to prepare our unemployed persons to see how they can get employment. We now have a new business process management company in Souffre, and we are hoping our strategy is to work and train those persons to prepare them for work. So again, Mr. Speaker, my CDP is being multiplied. 10 fold, Mr. Speaker. I put a drop there and then I go out and see who can help me. Under area of agriculture, Mr. Speaker, again, using CDP, we provided greenhouse and seed funding to Bellevue Cooperative, Mr. Speaker. This cooperative has, it was once a very vibrant cooperative, a greenhouse. Yeah, Bellevue Cooperative was a critical institution for region eight, Mr. Speaker. And when you look at where it's at, it has, it's in trouble. So my challenge now is to use the CDP to work with my colleague minister and minister in the Ministry of Agriculture to see how best we can bring new life in the Bellevue Cooperative, Mr. Speaker. So we've provided them with assistance. We've given them a greenhouse. Exports and Russia is working with them to see how best we can renovate the chill room for them, Mr. Speaker. All towards food security. Agriculture, again, Mr. Speaker. Presentation of fertilizer and chicken manure to my Forsychak farmers, Mr. Speaker. Again, through CDP and again through partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture. We have done market research, Mr. Speaker. And through CDP, we are working to ensure that we increase the production of dashing in the Forsychak area. And what we have done, we have delivered to the first 12 farmers that were ready, some $1,500 each to support them, Mr. Speaker, in terms of expanding the dashing production. Mr. Speaker, I need to tell you that based on further research that we have done, we have identified an additional 34 farmers who are going to receive, who are now ready to receive additional funds of $1,500 each, so that dashing cultivation in Forsychak is at a different level, so that the markets that we have identified, we will meet it and that the lives of our farmers would improve. Mr. Speaker, and I think I've mentioned that with the help of the Ministry, my Ministry, we have replaced the ice machine at the Sufra Fishes Properties, Mr. Speaker. So housing improvement, Mr. Speaker. 2023, 2024, we handed over with the help of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, we handed over deeds to the occupants of the Mocha Houses, and this exercise continues, Mr. Speaker. We rely on the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, but what we do is to ensure that this has happened. Mr. Speaker, again under that program, we were able to provide and improve the roofing at the Palmis project, housing project. Some 82 homes were impacted, Mr. Speaker. There's the Palmis Housing Project. We also went to the next part of the Palmis estate, and what we call the Blackstone section, Mr. Speaker. And that section, believe it or not, still had asbestos. And Mr. Speaker, with the support of the Honourable Prime Minister and his support from my CDP, we are able to remove asbestos shingles from all the houses in that area, both for Palmis and for the Market Road residents. So now, Mr. Speaker, I breathe a sign of relief that my constituents of Palmis and my constituents of Market Road Souffre do not reside in houses still covered if asbestos. With the help of these governments, we were able to give them the news. Again under housing, Mr. Speaker. Emma Case. Barrens Rive, Mr. Speaker. Barrens Rive, we know that the stalwarts of this support for this administration and Mr. Speaker, we started our home repair program in the Barrens Rive area. So far, we have touched at least 23 homes there, and the work continues. So I want to take this moment to thank both the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Housing and Local Government for this critical program, Mr. Speaker. But I want to tell you, like others, that the list of names of persons asking for support is endless. And this is always a challenge to determine who you help in first, because they are all in need, Mr. Speaker. So I'm really hoping we can get a lot more support under that project. Mr. Speaker, on the business development, again, using my little CDP, Mr. Speaker, I was able to establish the Sufref Vendors Association. That's what I did. We didn't know how to split it. We established the Sufref Vendors Association, Mr. Speaker. They started with 91 members, and now they are just about 150 members. Most of them women, Mr. Speaker, and they received some seed monies. Some have not received, but the first 91 have received. Each of them received some $700, Mr. Speaker. $500 coming from my CDP allocation, and $200 coming from the Sufref Regional Development Foundation. They are getting technical support from the Forsinger Credit Union, Mr. Speaker. And I want to take this moment to thank the Ministry of Tourism that has come in and provided training to those persons, Mr. Speaker. Again, on the business development, Mr. Speaker, through my ministry, through my office in Sufref, we assisted over... Member for Sufref, Forsinger, we have 15 minutes. 15. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have, we assisted some 50 persons in preparing the business plans, Mr. Speaker. And I'm happy to report, as I have said, that some 61 persons applied. On the community and cultural development, Mr. Speaker, the Sufref carnival, I want again, at the beginning, we had certain challenges, Mr. Speaker, but we know that it was a success. Sufref does a stellar act, Mr. Speaker. I want to take the moment to thank Mrs. Samoje, the Sufref Events Committee, Samoje, Mephadeus, Rox, Clescent, Julian Matrin, and the team for this, Mr. Speaker, for the hard work they do in ensuring that Sufref provide first-class services in terms of events with the Mrs. Speaker. I also want to recognize the work that we did on the Creole Heritage Month, Mr. Speaker. And for the first time, we brought the entire community. We had activities in all the communities, Baron's Rive, Function Lib, Zeno, Bouton, Chateau Belais, Sufretown. And again, I want to thank that team and Ms. Krishnas and Bryce, who headed it, and Glendia Charles for embracing culture. Within that, as well, Mr. Speaker, we brought in an item that is a legacy item for us, and that is Kudmesifie, where we brought the community together, and they went into construction of homes, cleaning of health center, painting of cemetery walls, planting of flowers, road repair, erection of road safety barriers. Young, old, I see, members, yellow, red, we brought the community together, Mr. Speaker, and we want us to have this every year as a legacy program, where we bring the community into self-help. I want to recognize the work that was done in François-Jacques, Mr. Speaker, where persons like Mrs. Sandra Prosper and her team at the François-Jacques Development Committee, they brought in another project as well, Genes Quayol, which is a project that we want to have every year, where we are trying to get the young people to embrace our culture, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank Under the Area of Tourism, I want to thank the member for Castries South and his permanent secretary for completing the palmist booth, Mr. Speaker, to enable the operators to run this, Mr. Speaker. Under the Area of Youth Development, Mr. Speaker, hosting of the job fair, Mr. Speaker, supporting our footballers, Mr. Speaker, they've made us proud in terms of being the black hat champions, Mr. Speaker, and I want to tell them today that we are committed and committed to working with them to ensure that sports is alive and well in supreme, Mr. Speaker. I want to take this moment to thank the coaches and the volunteers for the work that they do day after day in Power Youth. So, Mr. Speaker, the work to be initiated this year, when I look again under the CDP and I raise it, I want to get into infrastructure and deal with the eternal slope stabilization, and I notice infrastructure on the head, 43, that provision is made for this. It's very dangerous, and we must address it urgently. And more than anything else, Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about my roads. The roads at Smith Street, Foshenshak De Wash, Crestland, Foshenshak to Myers Bridge, Foshenshak Main Road, Chateau-Bellet, Don Feebles Road, Lenny Hill, Miny Foshenshak, Belvidet Foshenshak, Chateau-Bellet, Fongeliv, Upper Victoria Street, Bois-Den-Toubel-Fonds, Roads in New Development, Upper and Lower New Development, the Bhouton Road, the Riverside Road next to the library, Barron's Drive Road to Margretout, Fond-Bernie Road, Bay Street. All of this, Mr. Speaker, are roads that require significant attention, Mr. Speaker. And I am hoping and I have received the commitment of the Honourable Member for Castery's North. Member, you have 10 minutes left. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, that he is going to cast an eye and see how best we can get some reprieve, Mr. Speaker. For other areas that we need, Mr. Speaker, the completion of the Bhouton Collabette Water Project, again, it is part of infrastructure. For Bhouto, again, the Bhouton Bus Stop and Labour Air, Mr. Speaker. Under the Community Development Programme, a community centre in Chateau-Bellet, Mr. Speaker, for infrastructure, underhead 56, improvement to road electrification throughout the constituency. We've developed, we have conducted an audit, Mr. Speaker, and we need almost 300 lamps in the constituency. So we pass that information on, Mr. Speaker. For Barron's Rive, under CDP, Mr. Speaker, a learning centre for the people of Barron's Rive, renovation of the IT centre, again, under CDP. And I want some collaboration there with the Minister for Education on that area, Mr. Speaker. For Souffre, I wait the project with GPH, Mr. Speaker, because of the impact it's going to have on the lives of my people. Underhead 56, Department of Economic Affairs, Mr. Speaker, I welcome the construction for the new hospital, Mr. Speaker. This is an area that my constituency has been screaming for, and I really hope that we can really compensate this year, Mr. Speaker. In the area of agriculture, underhead 41, I want to thank the member for Henry South, for his support thus far, and to thank him for the additional fact that we're going to give our features and additional support for our dashing farmers. And some support as well for additional support for Bellevue Cove, because they really need it. I also would look forward to some water terms for my livestock farmers, fertiliser again for my farmers, my farmers, my farmers, member. So underhead 46, which is to reason, Mr. Speaker, I am hoping that we can get our Tauri vending booth and the construction of the viewing point here at Mount Kubara, Mr. Speaker. Under housing improvement underhead 48, I see $1.78 million there, Mr. Speaker. And the main thing there is the continuation of the home repair program, Mr. Speaker. In the area of youth development and sporthead 54, where I see some $12.6 million, Mr. Speaker, I'm excited that the member for Rosile has given us some comfort, that some sport in infrastructure will receive some attention, Mr. Speaker. My sportsmen and women, I expect in, and I'm requesting on their behalf, installation of lights on the Procesure Court, construction of XenomultiCorpus Court, additional seating for Souffre Stadium, introduction of netball in Souffre, as well as alternative sports. I want to thank the member, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for the significant support that he has provided to Souffre so far. And, you know, what is good for Souffre is good for countries as well as for Rosile. So we are, we are in between pulling the two constituencies before. So thank you again, member, for the work that you're doing here. We are really hoping that we can get a place for our cricketers, and that is where I'm crying with free eyes, Mr. Speaker. Our cricketers, you know, they were doing well and now we have difficulty in identifying the space for them to practice. Mr. Speaker, for our youth, I want to thank the SSDF for the social survey that they've conducted for us. We are hoping in the coming weeks to sit and discuss it. But one key thing that we're trying to do, Mr. Speaker, is to initiate what you call a project hope, to provide mentorship, to provide mentorship, job training, and seed money to our young people to give them a helping hand so that they can change and transform their lives, Mr. Speaker. In the area of digitization, Mr. Speaker, I am working and I'm pleased to report that we are installing a community-wide Wi-Fi program in Souffre, Mr. Speaker. That is significant for us to ensure that, yes, all our people could access Wi-Fi, especially in our visitors, Mr. Speaker. We are saying that Souffre is different and forward-thinking. I'm also hoping that we can install a modern and state-of-the-art computers at the Souffre IT Center, Mr. Speaker. The flooring is gone, so again I'll have to stretch my CDP to see how we can restore that. And finally, Mr. Speaker, I want to, I see on the head 21 the distress fund. I have some of my fissures that the boats got damaged after the high seas there, and I have some of my fissures, the house got burned, so I'll be coming to the minister, the member for Caster East, to see how I can bring some comfort to those persons, Mr. Speaker. And finally, Mr. Speaker, our elderly, they have served us well, and I am working again for my CDP and some community persons to see how best we can start and construct a seniors' day care for the seniors of Souffre. They've worked and a lot of them at their homes without the right food, without persons' companionship, and I believe that we should do that so that they can have something to eat, have a place to recreate, and then they can go home, they can go to their homes in the evening. So, Mr. Speaker, in closing, I endorse this estimate of revenue and expenditure, and I pray God for the strength and stamina for our prime minister and our cabinet colleagues to deliver to the people of this country what is contained in this document. I thank you, Mr. Speaker.
