Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Earlier this week, we were given some briefings on the condition of the budget and, to some extent, the condition of the country. I believe there was some discussion to the fact that some of the conditions that currently exist are almost at Third World levels. We also talked about changes that we want to make to manage government better and to bring people into the canvas, if you want, or let into the tent to try and make a decision.

I would like to ask both candidates one question. Somebody told me a number of years ago that the territorial Legislature is the only democracy in the world with a minority -- that's the Cabinet-· to tell the majority what to do. Now, given that we're taking a new approach to government, I want to know from both candidates how they're going to manage consensus when you have to cut and take away -- which we've never had to o

at the levels that we're going to have to do -- and how are they going to handle that with respect to the Legislature? How are they going to handle consensus when you're taking away?
