Another subject of debate was the manual labour driven infrastructure projects implemented by the UDP as a means of job creation. The Leader of the Opposition called it a "bruk-stone" job creation, which the representative of one of the poorest areas embraced:..
Hon. Francis Fonseca, Leader of the Opposition
"The UDP jobs plan Mr. Speaker is to send you to break stone on street."
Hon. Mark King, Lake Independence
"Well my goodness Mr. Speaker I can tell you in Lake Independence men are not playing to break stones. Mr. Speaker, when the young men and women in this country are out there breaking stones and sweating to take home a salary every week to feed their families, I encourage them to break more stones."
