I simply repeat the propositions that I made in answer to the earlier question. We do have challenges about the structure of our economy that we are seeking to address. The real question is: what are you advancing? We advanced seven priorities for the future prosperity of our state. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon.
