00:00 >>I want to address before today's business. Firstly, I want to confirm to the House that
00:07 I have written to His Majesty the King to convey the best wishes of the House following
00:12 the announcement of his cancer diagnosis. Cancer is something that affects many families
00:17 in the community. Thankfully, medical advances have made a huge difference to the treatment
00:21 of cancer. We have thousands of cancer survivors in our community, indeed in the Assembly,
00:27 including myself. I know we have a matter of the day shortly for parties to express
00:31 their views, but I know that to speak on behalf of the whole House, I will be sending our
00:37 best wishes to His Majesty for a speedy recovery.
