Text
Just one minute, if I may, Minister. Ten is too young. I have believed that for a long time, not just since the debate started. When I became an MLA, I thought that 10 was too young. I do not have a degree; I do not have a thesis. I am standing in this corner of the Chamber partly because of my principles on the issue, and, therefore, I will approach it for myself and look at it in primary colours to get my point across. I will give way to the Minister.
