The Minister is very welcome to the House and I congratulate him for his openness, clarity and compassion as he has dealt with this minefield he has inherited. I think people are sick and tired of hearing about water. I was just outside a little while ago and it was teeming down. Did the Minister ever drive his car home when the rain is coming down, the wipers going back and forth, and did he say to himself there was nothing but rain, rain, rain, and if we could only bottle it, we would make something out of it?
