Yes. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, and thank you, Honourable Premier. The reference is on page 3. It is the second paragraph.

The other part of the question is, When we are talking about estimates of how many en-tities might fall into this tax bucket (to use simple lan-guage), where are we getting those data from in order to form those estimates, such as the estimate of 1,400, which I appreciate is an estimate?

There you go, there you go. I know that my honourable colleague Mr. Craig Cannonier and indeed Minister Weeks have already spoken in memory of David Pugh, who died untimely very recently.

He did not truck any [misbehaviour] in his meetings when he chaired them. And there was an occasion. I will not name the Honourable Member, but a former Honourable Member of this House was frequently late to these meetings (he also sat on the board).
