¶ 01 Hon. Member, this has been answered in this House several times. We explained clearly why we took this path: to implement solutions and relief for people suffering in a broken economy, and to stabilize and rebuild. We will not repeat past mistakes or subject people to avoidable hardship again. The people mandated this Parliament to implement solutions and stabilize the economy, and we are proceeding accordingly.
