 Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. If you'll allow me before I get into the motion at hand to comment on two matters. I first would want to join with the member for Denry North in congratulating the students who perform exceptionally well under the CSEC, our recent exams, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Our students have performed incredibly well among the Caribbean and I think it's something we all should be proud of. In fact, I'm very, very elated to see the number of students from the Chosal Salibas community who also shine in on that list of top performance. And so I think it's something that all of us as a country should be very proud of. So Deputy Speaker, I also would want to take the time to indicate to Ms. Ulika Makhiba-Fedric, our Miss Universe representative from the community of Monsignor Chosal. And to let her know that we as St. Lucians and as Chosalians are extremely proud of her performance on the whole stage, we followed her and we were very happy with the amount of presentation and presence she had on social media and how she represented her country. I think, you know, when we have any St. Lucian flying our flag as a country, all of us need to be proud and show our full support behind them. I was also happy to notice the Minister for Creative Arts also did put his piece to acknowledge her representation and her contribution. I also want to take the time, Mr. Deputy Speaker, to sympathise with a number of families in my community who have lost loved ones or who are also suffering with various ailments, particularly cancer. It seems, Mr. Speaker, that, you know, in fact throughout the island, there seem to be a lot of sudden deaths and sudden illnesses that has come upon our people. And, you know, we have to sympathise with these people in the times that we're living in. I'm actually elated, Mr. Deputy Speaker, with the motion before us today. And I say that because I am convinced that what we're seeing here is as a result of the previous administration of which I was a member of Cabinet has set a bar by which this government is following. I think we showed significant interest in the deplorable state of our school plans and we went full steam ahead to try to make a difference. As I have said in this House and other places, the community of Chosal Saltibus undoubtedly has the most schools on island. And I remember in the thrust to provide support to rehabilitate some of these schools, every single school in my community was touched, either ceiling repaired, roof repaired, particularly toilet plants. In fact, we have a former school principal, now member of the Cabinet in our gallery. And she will remember the plea she made to me to ensure that the school at which she was principal of at the time got a new toilet facility, Toilet Block. And we delivered likewise, we delivered on many other schools in the community. And as the member for Denis Noff has indicated, $16 million is a drop in the ocean when it comes to addressing the faults in our nation's schools. But I believe we can only improve over time. And I'm happy that that thrust is being paid to our schools. I am particularly pleased when he mentioned the reunion school because I remember after the construction of the La Fag secondary school in conversation with the Ministry of Education, the reunion school was a school that was identified as having serious structural weaknesses and would have been paid attention to. So I'm very happy that that school was identified in the list of schools to be paid attention to. I think it was very unfortunate, a statement that the Prime Minister made when he mentioned that, unlike his administration, the work that was done, some of it was very shorty. I think that was an unfortunate statement because all works were supervised by the technical people from the Ministry. And I'm aware that they were very, very rigid in terms of the pursuit of excellence. And even the principals in many of the schools are very happy with some of the work that has been done. So that, you know, I think we need to stop throwing some of these jobs. They remember for Kasseri's South East. I normally, you know, learned some things from him because of his previous, well, not previous, but because of his qualifications. And he normally put something out there that I know that I have not, I did not know in the past. Today I, you know, I question his contribution, although he did say something which was very important. And I think the Ministry need to pay particular attention to it. And that is with regard to the kind of toilets that we put in the schools. I never realized that there were special toilets that could have been, that could go into the school plan because I only visited a school two weeks ago where we had completely done over the toilets and everything, only to see that all toilets seats were already destroyed and the state of the toilet. So I know it's costing, but I think it's something that, you know, we have to invest in because unlike, like you say, some of the secondary school students, you know, in the primary school, you know, we have to exercise a lot more patience with some of the students and the way they use the facilities. So that I'm hoping that, you know, we will get to that level. While we talk about school rehabilitation, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I am hoping that in all of the rehabilitation that are going to be done, that attention will be paid to special needs because we have quite a few of these in our communities and, you know, railings and the necessary ramps will be put in place because, you know, I have seen the difficulties by students not being able to access and enjoy the facilities with ease like other students who were, you know, better endowed in terms of their mobility. That being said, Mr. Speaker, I think it is a positive move in the right direction and I'm hoping that we can see as a government and, you know, we have to engage in that sort of positive way forward with regards to institutions, particularly where our students are engaged in. So I'm looking forward to work being done in the communities and I do believe that, you know, it's a positive step that this government has taken in following what we have started. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
