Before we move on, I caution Members with regard to mentioning the names of people who are not present or are outside the House. While it can be Deputies' opinion, it is not fair to use derogatory terms when there is no one here to defend themselves. That is a caution, please.

Please, Deputy. Put your hand up if you want to speak.
