Mr. Speaker, w ould the Honourable Member consider giving an undertaking to bring the actual numbers back, broken down by each category of tickets in terms of percentage of sales? Meaning, if you have 100 tickets and you sold 20, that is 20 per cent.

Six different answers, depending what the hourly rate is.

Point of order, Mr. Speaker. If the Honourable Member says that, I encourage him to back that claim up. Who were they for? Or he should withdraw it if he cannot say it.

Mr. Speaker, it has been said that this will produce, of the jobs created at the construction site, 80 per cent will be held by Bermudi-ans.
