 Thank you Mr. Speaker. I promise I wouldn't belong myself Mr. Speaker. I'm not feeling very well as you can probably decipher from the sound of my voice. But Mr. Speaker, when you listen to the member from Swazel, Swazel Saltibus, you would wonder whether he is a convert. You would wonder whether as we say colloquially he just come. Because I listened to him Mr. Speaker. And some of the allegations he seemingly makes fall squarely in the laps of the former government. And also his leader Mr. Speaker, one of the things I want to make clear. Mr. Speaker, this borrowing today is no new money. This borrowing today, that intention was manifested ever since we had the budget debate. The money we have to pay today is the money we have to pay to the politicians. It's not the money that Philip J. Pierre-Joseph decided to buy next to us. The budget that we have to pay is the money we have to pay. All the money we have to pay to finance the budget is already in the gold. Please. Today, after the government's first minister, all the money we have to pay is already in the gold. We now find the necessity to invoke the intention to borrow. But from the first of April, one must understand the financial year runs from April 1 to March 31 of every year. From April 1 to December 6, this government has borrowed not one penny to finance this financial year. Not one penny. And when my friend from Swazel, he asked Mr. Speaker what is the borrowing for, I find this question hypocritical. I find Mr. Speaker that the member in his political astuteness, a bunker by profession knows very well all the intentions and the source of financing have been laid in this big book of which he has a copy. The member of the country central, to be fair to the member for Swazel Saltybus, he didn't ask a question. What he said was he will not do as did the 6th when they were in opposition and decry borrowing instead he would come and support borrowing but would simply ask what it is for. But I didn't get the impression he was asking about this borrowing. Very well Mr. Speaker but I'm saying in his political astuteness and in the prime minister's presentation of the motion, he indicated that this borrowing is to finance the budget. The member for Swazel Saltybus and every parliamentarian prior to that debate in this honorable house would have to be furnished with a copy of the estimates. Every member and not only are you furnished with the potential expenditure or contemplated expenditure, the source of funding is within this Bible. If you want to call it that, the source of funding is in there. So, it's not the government that just agrees to go and buy it. Even after the mass has been approved, the budget has passed. The government has agreed that the government should invest the money. The government has agreed that the government should invest the money. The government has agreed that the government should invest the money. Now Mr. Speaker, you see sometimes you listen to politicians and my friend was eavesdropping earlier when he said that I say this takes a toll. But one of the things he admitted to me that the truth is what you believe, he echoed the sentiments of his leader telling me the truth is what he believes it to be. So I said to him, I asked him rather if I believe he was of the female sex, would that be correct? And then he expressed surprise. So Mr. Speaker, sometimes when we speak we have to know what we see. All of the intention is in this book. The source of funding is in this book. So when you are saying you will not justize the government. If you had to do so, you would have done so during the estimates, the debate on the estimates. What the last government used to do Mr. Speaker, and I even asked the Prime Minister why he didn't go that route. They used to lump up everything one time so that the motion for borrowing and the tabling of the estimates of revenue and expenditure would take place at the same time. So they would borrow six hundred million dollars the very time they are tabling the estimates of revenue and expenditure. So I said to Mr. Speaker, let the United Workers Party government take a table budget. All of this will be taken away. All of this will be taken away. So let it be done the same way that the government is taking a different approach. This government is letting every citizen of this country know how exactly it is running the affairs of this country. And so Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister in his wisdom is taking a different approach. And so Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister in his wisdom and based on advice decided he is not tabling the motion for borrowing simultaneously with the estimates of revenue and expenditure. And hence we are here today to deal with a motion that is contained in all shapes and forms within the confines of the estimates that were tabled in this honourable house earlier this year. Now Mr. Speaker, I heard the members of the Salisbury saying that the government ought to treat each parliamentarian with dignity. And I agree with that. But I wonder Mr. Speaker where was he when his leader as Prime Minister stood in this honourable chamber and told opposition members that you had lost the right to speak? Where was he when the leader, his leader and Prime Minister told members opposite that they had lost their voices? Where was he when the leader, ex-Prime Minister told the St. Lucian citizen that you don't like my party? Where was he when he referred to St. Lucian as backing dogs? Where were you when he referred to us as mendicants? Listen, I let the jacazes breathe. Where were you? Were you there? You were here. And today he preaches dignity. I don't have a problem with that. Welcome to the converted club because you seem to be a convert. Now Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister indicated that part of the funds would be used to pay lands acquired. And the member for Salisbury quite rightly said that government has to acquire land. And that is not a difficulty. That's not difficult to understand because the law empowers the government in pursuance of the discharge of its social responsibility to the people whom elected it should do whatever is necessary to bring a certain degree of comfort to them. And in that regard Mr. Speaker, you might need a public facility somewhere where government has to land your acquire. You might need a food path so that persons no longer working month you acquire. And he was right. But I am wondering Mr. Speaker, where was he who wasn't in the cabinet when the government, the last government under the leadership of the member for Mikusov decided to acquire Caribbean Jewels hotel. Where were you? Knowing full government is not a hotelier and the hotel invariably will end up in private hands. Where were you? Where were you when the last government decided to acquire the lands at shock? The swamp at shock? The swamp at shock? Where were you when the last government decided to acquire land to pass on to range developers? Range developers and further to that to give them concessionary financing using our CIP monies. When the prime minister then realized he could not have done it you came and changed the legislation. You changed the legislation and we still had to pay range 32 million dollars. So where were you? Where were you my friend? I know you were busy signing the DSH deal other than that where were you? And so you know Mr. Speaker it is that kind of hypocrisy it is that kind of hypocrisy according to a famous speaker and writer down here. It is that kind of hypocrisy that I just cannot tolerate because all of the squandering all of the squandering was being done whilst you were right there. How much we borrowing today? 102, let's say 280. Mr. Speaker let me just give you about five five egregious financial deals that cost us more than what we borrowing here today. Five out of twenty two. Five out of twenty two. Local B thirty two, let's add from here. Sanders grant twenty four and thirty two fifty six. So if we are those two we don't have to borrow yet. Good. Bypass Road How much? Fifteen Fifteen million, where are we at now? Where are we now? Sixty five. Sixty five. Seventy one. Seventy one per man do thirteen million. That's what? Eighty four. Eighty four. Rain settlement forty two million. How much is that? Hundred and six. That's what we're getting in view for. I would put it higher. One million. Where we are now? One seventy.
