KIRITAPU ALLAN (Labour): Listening to the contributions in the House this afternoon, I've been reflecting on the fact that the role of Government is very multifaceted, and as we find ourselves in some trying times and relatively uncertain times as a consequence of COVID-19, I guess it reaffirms why it is so important to ensure that we prepare for stormy times when the times are good. To that extent, I want to start by my contribution this afternoon by acknowledging the role of the Minister of Finance.
