Thank you. I support the delay only to find a way to derail this. I do not support the delay as a way to further implement this plan. What we need is clear, concise, honest and open consultation, as has been said by many of the Members today.
If this government finds ways to make the cost of living here worse, who is going to want to stay? It’s hard enough attracting people to the North who are new, if we can’t keep the people we have dedicated here.
In closing, I think this is the wrong path. The people have spoken. I don’t know how many more names on a petition or any piece of documentation the Minister needs, but all she has to do is just tell us and we’ll get every single one of the requirements that she needs to stop this policy.
