Under the OBA, Mr. Speaker, what the Honourable Member did not talk about was how they had a plan to grow a piece of the pie. A piece of the pie! That is what their focus was. You can go look it up in Hansard where they said, We are going to grow this piece of the pie. But under …

But yet an Honourable Member will stand in this Honourable House and claim his fame tied to that history. Tied to right -wing agendas. Mr. Speaker, you were correct when you started your speech and said that there are those who want to talk about working together and that he might have been more amenable to understanding his role and …

And so Mr. Speaker, what we need to start looking at is that if the new generation is coming in thinking they are going to make a name for themselves with guns blazing, thinking they are going to make a name for themselves by taking on everybody on this s ide when they have got 6 and we have 30 …

And so Mr. Speaker, we also have to remember that when we stand in this House, yes, the Honourable Member is right. We are representing the people we represent and we are speaking on their behalf.

—so that she could learn the way of the House. Learn the way that things should go. Because with the skeleton crew that is on the other side, Mr. Speaker, and the lack of experience that is on the other side, I believe that the Opposition, as much as they try to talk bad about our leadership, has had more …

And so Mr. Speaker, although we had a former leader, former Premier, running in the last bye- election and persons refer to that former leader as an elder statesman, the former leaders and former Premiers on the other side will not get that dignity because they do not act with that dignity. We do not have to worry about persons …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I had some competition to my left. I just wanted to send a letter of congratulations to all of the winners of the Outstanding Teens Awards.

Mr. Speaker, I stand today to speak in favour of this piece of legislation because as I read the legislation, this is the Minister showing that there is a vision for our immigration policy on a whole moving forward.

Now, Mr. Deputy Speaker , you know what else floored me? And it floored me a couple years ago in 2019 when Colonial sponsored the West Indies’ cricket team. And for those who are of Dennis Lister Jr.’s age and do not know who Colonial is, they know then as Capital G or Coralisle Group. Effectively , that goes back …
