The solar part. Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: Oh, the solar part. I am glad you asked that question. So the solar part was put in place by the OBA. You remember that, don’t you? Yes, they put it in place.

Yes, I will try to wind this one down very quickly. So my last piece, and again, I am focusing a lot of the human resources in the maritime right now, for this year, making sure that they have what they need.

Thank you. That just triggered another question. On page B-201, under Revenue Summary, toward the bottom, 8763 Tug. And we are showing revenue of $1.469. So, $1,469,000. I am curious. We had old Faithful and old Powerful retire. And I read in the news that both of those tug boats went down to Trinidad (I believe). Did we sell those …

Page B -205 is the $927,000 operating cost. But when I turn the page to B -206, I am seeing zero for wages. So I don’t know whether $927,000 is for wages or whether we are investing in something that is going to cost $927,000 for this year, under Registration. And now I would like have a look, still on …

I have a question about emissions testing. I have two themes. One is staff and re-sources and developing m aritime professions, and my other is environmental consciousness. We certainly had, at one point (now many years ago), the capacity to measure emissions. Cer-tainly it would not be something I would advocate and immediately, Let’s jump in and start measuri ng …

Yes. Thank you. I am trying to abbreviate my questions. So, still on page B -205, under General Summary, 44090, Road Safety, the Minister did let us know that allocation is being made to have an additional road safety officer, which is a great thing. And he also mentioned that there are cameras out there that are monitoring whether our …

Still on Head 35, under page B-209, 45120 Administration. There was mention earlier about the school buses. And I am just wondering, under Administration, if the Minister might be able to give us an update or just tell us how much the contracts for the school minibuses are. I see the minibuses pick-ing the school chi ldren up in Southampton. …
