I am sorry, page B -328. Thank you for the correction. Page B -328 for this cost centre shows the number of people and money given remains the same as previous years. So, we are saying we are only go-ing to train “X” amount of people and we are just going to keep it at that level. We are talking …

I know this department works hard, and I know they are good at what they do. And I implore the One Bermuda Alliance to just give them the funding so they can get it done. This is an important department. This is a department that is the lifeblood of our unemployed. They need the resources to do the things that …

And I am sure . . . I was thinking that was probably the answer as well. So the positions were funded but they just did not have an yone in place. Again, all of this happens with adequate funding.

Mr. Speaker, I think ever yone gets the gist of what is going on here. First of all, I want to say that I believe that every single Member here, Mr. Speaker, feels that if someone has done wrong or done something illegal they should be brought to justice.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker . And I will reiterate it again, and I will say it a little bit slower so the Member can understand.
