Mr Speaker,
It is a pleasure to address you and set out my budget for the year ahead which follows an extremely busy and productive year. Having had the benefit of being in office 18 months I can proudly say that there has been a marked difference in the work that has been undertaken by my Ministry and my Departments. This year I have an additional portfolio that I have taken over since the said passing of my colleague and very good friend Charles Bruzon. While I do not have the years of wisdom that Charles had, I hope to continue what he started and do him proud in dealing with the Ministry for the Elderly with the same dedication and hard work that I apply when dealing with the rest of my portfolio.
