When FMQs eventually got going, Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives queried Yousaf's appointment of an independence minister asking if it was a fair use of taxpayers' money. Yousaf hit back, telling MSPs that independence was a priority for the Scottish people. Yousaf said: 'I make no apology whatsover for having a minister for independence because, my goodness, we need it more than ever before'.
