I congratulate the Minister and her team on a successful year. In light of the constraints faced by this country, it is a measure of the commitment of the Minister and the staff of the Department that they have been able to punch above their weight in securing resources for the Department's budget. I wish the Minister well with the new family and child agency. We are all very excited about the fact that it will finally be established this year. I ask the Minister to keep up her work. We will continue to support her in any way we can.
