Mr. Speaker, first I would like to thank the previous speaker for his balanced review. I think it was quite helpful to hear him articulate salient points devoid of anything to make people nervous, but to clearly highlight some intelligent and thought -through responses.

Mr. Speaker, I do not have a note written. There was nothing in my bailiwick. There was nothing on my mind to speak to this. I listened to my brother, my friend, my comrade, Zane De Silva, speak and I feel compelled to make my contribution to this debate.

Now, here is the challenge. People who are used to fighting see this and they see their struggle. They understand what they have gone through, and they do not feel for you. Now, I have to look at this thing clinically, as a Member of Parliament. I have that ability to put myself and go through all the pros and …

I stood up and I marched for things that I believed in this country. What would I sound like? Who would I be when somebody disagrees about a decision that I make and I am down crying and mad at the people for marching? March! I actually have a different position. [Inaudible interjections]

I have a different position, though. Because, remember, I just can’t look at this. I also have to look at this; I live in Southampton. I live in that neighbourhood. I travel that road every day. When I am going through my neighbourhood and we go to our neighbourhood meetings, the neighbours are legitimately concerned. But here is what I …

I just cannot have faith in the Government arms, the planning benefits, the discretion of the Minister when it benefits me. I have seen a number of different projects take place. We have to understand, guess what? Gencom, these are the things that you are going to do for our community, this is what you are going to do for …

The last person. Lord, I have slipped again. The reality of this is that as a country we have an opportunity to make some progress with this. I do not want to see this bifurcate or separate us because we have an opportunity to do something great in our community. The reason why I have never spoken about this is …

Mr. Speaker, something has been troubling me for the last few weeks, and it is not political. I reflected this week on the country’s conversations around Mini ster Hayward.
