Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are also going to be on the transfer of the Territorial Treatment Centre. My questions are for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, I have to tell you that I am quite surprised at the nonchalant and very laid back attitude of the Ministers and Cabinet at the accusation from this side that the transfer was based on nothing else but political reasons. That is a very serious allegation, and political means in this regard not being politically brave or politically strong. Political, in this context, means Ministers making a decision without merit, without administrative and bureaucratic support, without good information, but making a decision by politicians for no other reason except politicians can. I'd like to know from the Premier, is that how the Cabinet runs the government? Do they sit around the Cabinet table going, hey, we're here to make political decisions and we're just going to transfer this? Is that how the Cabinet makes decisions, Mr. Speaker?
