00:43We all know that the member, the Honorable Member, sat in the Cabinet for five years,
00:49and I'm not aware of any questions being raised, concerns, or measures being proposed by the
00:55Honorable Member or her Cabinet, to effectively deal with the Prime Minister's experience.
01:02The Prime Minister then referred to statements made by the new police commissioner about
01:07improving school security before speaking about the Santa Rosa Government Primary School.
01:14We do have a plan. We do have a program to work with our police officers.
01:18During our campaign, we talked about deploying police officers in schools to assist with security
01:23in the schools. We talked about other measures to help with that.
01:27In this particular instance, Mr. Speaker, I am advised by the Minister of Education and the
01:33Minister of Education that social workers and consultants would conduct sessions regarding
01:38trauma sustained during that particular incident. And, of course, we are reviewing the current
01:45security protocols at that school and at all schools in the country.
01:48And, of course, we have a plan. We have a plan. We have a plan. We have a plan. We have a plan.
