I wish everyone a good and positive day at work on behalf of the people of the nation. We are dealing with questions to the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection. I want the Minister and Deputies to know that I am very strict on times. Deputies have 30 seconds only to introduce a question; the Minister has two minutes to reply; Deputies have one minute to ask a supplementary question; the Minister has one minute to respond; Deputies have a final minute to ask a supplementary question, and the Minister has a final minute to reply. As I do not want to interrupt, I appeal to everybody to try, as much as possible, to stick to these timelines.
