¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, there were global supply issues that now have normalized. However, as the Member suggests, keeping such a stock for years in one store requires inquiry. The Ministry has instructed officials to investigate why the stock was retained without distribution and to report within a short period so that necessary action can be taken.
