Mr. Speaker, my point has been proven. The voting population has increased. Mr. Speaker, moving on. On page 17, they speak negatively about CARICOM. Yet two weeks ago we had the Prime Minister of Nevis here, Mark Brantley. Last night we had Steven Golding speaking on the legacy of Marcus Garvey. Today right at your pedestal, Mr. Speaker, we had …

Tomorrow we will have the Prime Minister of Grenada. Does it sound like we are running away from our commitment to CARICOM, Mr. Speaker? Hon. Jarion Richardson: Point order, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, meanwhile the FDM, the OBA and the UBP under the guise of [Sir] John Swan have all had nothing positive to say of CARICOM. Our actions are clear. Mr. Speaker, it is time to do what we do best. Now compare our track record, Mr. Speaker. [Over] the course of the time of the PLP we have built …

BermudAir . . . Bermuda Air, you know what I am talking about. [They] have stated they are expanding their gateway cities. This cannot be happening if an economy is declining now can it?

And I saw with my own eyes at least two of these Opposition Members at South P at the groundbreaking that they claimed would never hap-pen. [Inaudible interjections]

Hmm. So as Ismay Williams would say . . . repeat after me folks. Promises made, promises kept. Mr. Speaker, in 2012, since 2012, I have had one Ministry. The Ministry of winning elections. So I say to my Premier, and my fellow PLP MPs, time to do what we do best. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yes, thank you. Good afternoon to the listening public and my colleagues on the left and on the right. Mr. Speaker, I do not know much about pensions. I just know I get [something] taken out of my money every month. I am just a BELCO worker. But what I do know about is property, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, like …

Fiscal responsibility. That is the word I am looking for. We have to equally tell our people, Stop spending money on stupid- ness. But at this point we have to separate the wheat from the chaff. We have to give our people the ability to buy something and pass on to their children just like each one of us in …

So what I will say today is going to be from the heart, not from a paper. Mr. Speaker, we live in a world where people see things on the Internet and think, Hey, why can’t we get that in Bermuda? You know, Why can ’t we get houses for 100 grand ? Not possible. Why can ’t we get …

Mr. Speaker, I truly was not intending to speak, but over the last (I do not know) week and a half I have seen comments, you know, peo-ple attempting to use things as political advantage and sometimes they realise they are actually disadvantag-ing (What is the word I want to look for?) disadvantag-ing themselves. Yes. That is the word. Well, …

No. But I am for community values. And it is something that Somerset and most of Bermuda have in common . . . well, some parts of Bermuda. The PLP was born in that building right next door called St. Paul AME. We are inextricably linked.
