Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this government spent $50,000 and donated to Haiti. Again, we could have probably purchased 50 tents which could have gone to Haiti already. But again, it’s up to us as government to find a way. I know that the Minister mentioned that they are possibly looking at a possible supp, but, again, I think that there are a lot of NGOs that have basically raised money across the country. So I’d like to suggest making contacts with those organizations, put them on notice that these tents are there and find a way that we can work with them to get them to the people of Haiti. I’d like to get a commitment from the Minister that he gets someone within his department to start getting the phones going so that we can make these contacts and get these tents to the people in Haiti.
