Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much, everyone, for being here with us this afternoon.
I note that the budget for the Department of Public Works over the last five or six years has remained pretty consistent--a little bit up, a bit down--and then all of sudden, this year, we see a jump from last year of almost 20%. There are several questions from that. First, what exactly does that cover, and why? What does that mean in terms of the announced freeze and indeed the additional strategic review for reductions?
So let's start with the first question, on why there is such a significant increase this year, and then hopefully we can ask more on that.
