 Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank members for the support, Mr. Speaker, just want to mention the other few things, Mr. Speaker. The member for Shoezell, Mr. Speaker, he had the old refrain of the government spending a million dollars in schools, Mr. Speaker. It's a pity that the member of Shoezell and his party, when they cling on to something that's not true, they believe that they can say it all the time, repeat and people believe it, Mr. Speaker. We have on countless occasions explained, both in government and out of government, that during our term in office school repairs would house in the municipality of infrastructure, because we sought it better where all the expertise, the engineers, the building technicians, the quality surveyors, all of them are housed in the municipality of infrastructure. So it made more sense if all repairs, all buildings, all repairs to public buildings were housed in the municipality of infrastructure, because all the experts are there, Mr. Speaker. But you know, the member for Shoezell, he knows very well why construction was taken away from the municipality of infrastructure and sent to other ministries, including education and economic development. He knows very well, Mr. Speaker. He knows very well. And he doesn't want me to go down that path, because he knows very well why the municipality of infrastructure was systematically disenfranchised and construction went to the Ministry of Economic Development. He knows very well why it happened. He knows it's because contractors and consultants could be chosen by direct award in the Ministry of Economic Development. And he knows very well who the contractors were chosen, what contractor was chosen. And he knows very well about the 70 million dollars' worth of direct awards. And he knows very well about the contractor who right now, as you speak, has over 100 million dollars' worth of direct awards from the Ministry of Economic Development. He knows very well. I don't know why he's going down that path. I don't know why he's doing that, Mr. Speaker. Why is he doing that? He knows very well that the Ministry of Education, 10 million dollars was given for school repairs. In his time, he knows and asked him to outline to me the schools that were repaired for 10 million dollars. Just give us a listing. And what is the cost of each of the schools? I wish that he would not tell me down the track, because I've listened to all the propaganda, all the lies, all the postings. And I have not responded. But he's telling me down the track, Mr. Speaker. Because at some point, the truth, you know, I don't understand, Mr. Speaker, how the opposition lost an election. And they still continue to do the same things that cause them to lose. They persist in doing the same things that cause them to lose. Lies, lies, misinformation, planting fake news. These days, they have some foreign fellow giving news about Sena Nusha. Nobody know where he come from. But he everywhere giving news about Sena Nusha. Oh God, that has no traction. Mr. Speaker, so it was never, the million dollars, Mr. Speaker. The members of Sena Nusha was ten thousand dollars given to the principles of schools per petty cash. So they can do little repairs to their schools. That was what one million dollars was for. Not for the total repair of schools. The repairs for schools were in the Ministry of Infrastructure's budget. Because the Ministry of Infrastructure handled repairs for schools. And the Minister of Finance is there. He can verify what I'm saying. That's what happened. And knows very well that the money that was spent for schools, the repainting of schools. The work that was done in schools, Mr. Speaker, was done for the Ministry of Infrastructure. And we never had ten million dollars to spend. But the output was a lot more. So I want to say one thing. Maybe he may not have known, but I want to tell him, Mr. Speaker. Be careful when he's going down that path, Mr. Speaker. Of repeating these lies. Repeating these lies. Constantly repeating these lies. Mr. Speaker, the members of you thought so. And I agree with him on the airport. I'm going to have a debate about the airport also. Because an airport that was supposed to have the original joints for the airport was for 600, I think 600 piles. Piles, Mr. Speaker, piles. 600 piles. In one location. No one can tell me the reason why the location was changed from the original location to a new location. We brought in a consultant. And the consultant said that the person who made that decision needs to have his head reexamined. And you know. And just by the word of one man. One man. The terminal building was removed from that location upon the location. From that location upon the location. And it necessitated 3,000 piles. 3,000 piles. 3,000. And the cost of a run of over 46 million dollars. Just in the foundation of the airport, Mr. Speaker. 46 million dollars cost of a run for the foundation alone. Mr. Speaker. And Mr. Speaker. Give this self-righteous. That self-righteous posterings. We are good. We did so much good things. Mr. Speaker. Just like St. Jude. We come in this. We going to come there. Just like St. Jude. Mr. Speaker. Anything that will benefit a people of this country, the opposition is against. Because they are not in government. Anything. So you talk about a Portland and Piles. Mr. Speaker. That's for another show, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. I want to show the members of V4 South. That the Philip Master Grounds are going to be repaired. What we are waiting for is for the appropriate contractor to effect the work of the speaker. So as soon as the contractor is chosen, the works on the Philip Master Grounds are going to be effected, Mr. Speaker. And on his preschool, Mr. Speaker, we are working on that. He will hear from me very soon about the preschool, Mr. Speaker. So Mr. Speaker. I'm glad the member of a show is there knows that we are doing work on the schools in show is there. We are doing work in show is there. A lot of work. Show is there has more community centers per area than any other person in solution. There are more community centers in show is there, post square foot than anywhere in solution. Mr. Speaker. No way. When we came in government, we didn't stop it. We didn't stop it. We continued. And I'm going to come to show you that two or three are there with him. If he invites me. Mr. Speaker. But let me tell you what his government did. That was his government. Let me remind you, Mr. Speaker. And you know. Mr. Speaker. It fascinates me. The self-righteousness of the United Workers Party and the ceremony. It fascinates me. They pretend as if they were never in government. That solution began on the 26th of July 2021. As when solution began. So bodily customs. They relate 26th of July. All before that the police 26th of July. All before that solution did not exist. Or since the perfect solution before 26th of July Mr. Speaker. That's how they pretend. So Mr. Speaker. I want to tell you something about the shows at schools. And why we continue to do working shows. Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker. I don't want to speak about my constituency. The minister of education I have spoken about what they've done. How they allowed the untruful school to come to a complete state of disrepair. Complete in the untruful school. Because it located in my constituency. But what you don't understand is that the children go to Enchipo. And not all from my constituency. You know in the short sightedness. They don't realize that they causing people in other parts of the country to suffer. Enchipo. They allow a complete block to deteriorate. They refuse. It was the Enchipo school was in a list of schools to be repaired. They took it out. And I'll tell you what they did again. The Enchipo war. The martial war Mr. Speaker. Starting from castries going up to Enchipo Mr. Speaker. When you were in government. The whole bank. Continual construction. Began construction at war. Because anytime rain fell. The George Charles Boulevard. The place they called them places. That's how you refer to it. Them places. As if you don't live there. Them places. But these are my people. They, these walls. When rain fell. Flooded. We started construction of these walls. The whole bank. Started construction of these walls Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, you know. When the Nicaraguan government. They found the construction of these walls going. You know the guys rocked. The funding agency. And told them stop the construction of these walls. And build the walls in southeast castries. And I invite you Mr. Speaker. I invite you. Let's go see it. Yes, it's coming. So many things coming to parliament. You will be surprised. You see. You have been just do this. That. Talk this. I hope. I hope. You all begin to shout. Victimization. I hope you don't do it. I hope. Because you have been pushing. Do this. Do that. You know. They wrote. A letter. Asking. And you know. They have the bravado Mr. Speaker. To. You know. This. Do what you want. Do what you want Mr. Speaker. The people have done what they want already. The people have done it already. We leave you in the hands of the people. They are the ones to judge. So Mr. Speaker. The guys wrote a letter. Saying. Stop the walls. In. Castries East. In the Martian. Area. Stop it. And bring it to southeast castries. And up to this day. Up to this day. These walls have not been completed. We just try to do it now Mr. Speaker. And if you go by the kapak. Or by the kapak on the Martian road. You'll see. The river bank. Is right on the verge of the water cost of the speaker. Because of the victimization of the United Workers Party. Refusing to the work in castries East. Because as a parliamentary deputy speaker. So when he speaks about this guy. He must be careful Mr. Speaker. About continuity. Must be very careful about continuity. Very careful. You may not be involved. Because probably you will not in the sanction. Probably outside. You may not have been on the margins. Because basically you're a good guy. But the company that you keep that's bad. And I've warned you to join that new day. Join the new day. The new day just take one step on the other side. That's where the new days. I've told you so already. Where you are not good for you. I've warned you. And I'm Mr. Speaker. So we continued. We continue Mr. Speaker in the progress. As far as education is concerned Mr. Speaker. So this continuity that he is talking about. He must be careful. Because the thing that we try to do Mr. Speaker. We get opposition. All bit by word of mouth Mr. Speaker. And I've warned public servants. I've said to them. Work with the policy of the government. There is a trend of attacking public servants. They attack the chief of police. The acting commissioner of police. There is an attack. There is a personal attack that is run on public servants. To cause them not to do their job. The last attack was in the control of customs. Mr. Speaker do you know. Before the control of customs is appointed by the prime minister commission. Before I became minister. I didn't know him. I did not know the control of customs. Man to man fail. I didn't know him. When I became minister of finance. The cabinet secretary informed me of who the control of customs was. And we had a discussion. And the cabinet secretary said that he was the control of customs. I did not even know the gentleman. Face to face. I didn't know him. Mr. Speaker. But I heard a long story about control of customs. And here I miss Godfather too. You understand. A long story. That's why they say I miss Godfather. A long story Mr. Speaker. But Mr. Speaker. We, that's not how we operate. That's not how we operate. So now the story now is on the control of customs. That's also Mr. Speaker. A gentleman who is one. Mr. Speaker you know anyhow. But what keeps me going Mr. Speaker. Is the support of the people of Saint Lucia. That's what keeps me going. How the people of Saint Lucia appreciate what the government is doing. And you see in all the celebrations. You see the emancipation. They made a big political hulabu with carnival and souffre. A whole story carnival and souffre. Not one incident. Not one incident. And they were praying a hundred murders. Saint Lucia have a hundred murders before the year is over. That's what he mean to me. And opposition party can pray. That the country has a hundred murders before the year is over. And opposition party, any one again in the government. He mean to me and opposition party. Can consistently support a gentleman. Who encourages young people to use ammunition. You support that Mr. Speaker. Because you want to go into government. And your soul will get a lot people to say whatever they want. I was in Vufort. I was in Vufort on Sunday Mr. Speaker. My roots are in Vufort North. I was in Vufort on Sunday. I always go to Vufort. I had business in Vufort. I have interest in Vufort. Mr. Speaker. So Mr. Speaker. So when I heard Mr. Speaker. When I heard this thing about. When I heard this thing about. Tell politicians not to go to Vufort. I mean Mr. Speaker. But you know I know why. Because you know this man lost his deposit in Vufort. So when you lose your deposit in Vufort. I mean you must tell people that. You lose your deposit. You must forget. You know they forget. They forget. After we took his deposit in Kashmir's East. You know we took it there too. Yeah. This guy's political history. He's having lost two deposits. He has a record. Of having lost the most deposits in solution political history. That's his record. The staff party. The member. Yes. He got the postal run for. The staff. The staff party. Got more votes than him. You don't believe that. And now you talking around the place. But remember if you have to go on deposit. I took another. Two deposits in your political history. And you talking. And you talking. Some of these people. But they encouraged that. Because you know. They are clutching at shores. They clutching at shores. And all how they try to spread. This unity among the men women. And this party Mr. Speaker. That will not work. We come from strength to strength Mr. Speaker. And the challenges. The next election. Because the next election. I've said to them. I may have to choose a little. The opposition from my party. I may have to ask one of these. Gentlemen to be lead. Or ladies to be lead in the opposition. And you have to choose. Mr. Speaker. I want to thank the member. For his contribution. And again invite him. To do the right thing. Thank you Mr. Speaker.
