Thank you, Mr. Chai rman. Mr. Chairman, I missed the beginning of my colleague, the Honourable Member Leah Scott’s presentation, but as I think you will see we decided to split up this particular Ministry into two parts.

Of course. It is 58000, Administration. This is the HQ which clearly has to deal with, as I said earlier, develop and direct go vernment policy on energy, broadcasting, the space and satellite industry and relevant regulated industry sectors.

It would be useful to know. I know my former colleagues who started this issue . . . but it would be nice to know when the cas hless system is going to come into the ferries, and I think for buses as well. I think that is a facility that most of the other jurisdictions have something of that …

Maybe they are. Okay. Well, the Minister can answer that when he gets up. We know from experience with electric cars that they are much easier to service because there are considerably fewer moving parts.

That is all right. I am off your port bow there. I just had a couple of . . . and I would unde rscore that. I think the Minister has done a very thorough job of trying to answer questions. There were two that I asked that I am interested in [getting] an answer [for]. One was the issue …
