—against the point. It still went through, so you know, it is kind of contradictory for the Honourable Member Deputy [Premier] to get up. And that can be found in The Royal Gazette easily in 2013 and 2014 where the then Opposition Shadow Financial . . . Speaking against the Greens getting $11 million in concessions . . . Hon. …

Point of order, Mr. Speaker. I certainly am not getting confused. On February 28, 2014, the Premier, well the Shadow then, now Premier . . . Tax concessions cannot go on forever . And it goes on to speak to the fact that he was against the $11 million increase. There you go. [Inaudible interjections and desk thumping] Hon. Zane …

Point of order again, Mr. Speaker. The Honourable Member is misleading the 368 9 May 2025 Official Hansard Report Bermuda House of Assembly House. The whole purpose behind the fact that we were saying that it was criminal [is] because we had already bailed them out. And why are we then going into concessions for them when we are bailing …

Point of order, Mr. Speaker. Point of order, Mr. Speaker. I think it is clear that I just showed that we were willing to work together for them to make something happen very quickly for Fairmont Southampton, which is why we did it so quickly, because we were willing to work with them to make it happen despite the fact …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I apologise for the Leader’s not feeling well. We know that the flu has been going around, and certainly he does not want any of us to be afflicted by the same. QUESTION 1: CLEAN AIR AMENDMENT ACT, POSSIBLE DELAY OF

Official Hansard Report - House of Assembly

My first question then would be, Mr. Speaker, considering the revelation this morning gazetted by the Bermuda Clean Air Coalition [BCAC], we are just wondering if the Premier, considering the major concerns that have been voiced today by the BCAC, would entertain delaying this Clean Air Amendment Act at this time considering the major concerns that have been voiced today.

Thank you. I will go to my third question. Back in May of 2022 it was announced that a settlement had been made with Oarrs. And two years now we still are not aware of how much that settle-ment was with Oarrs. I am wondering if the Premier could let us know what the settlement with Oarrs was, considering many …

Yes. Supplemental. I recognise that Government does not go into court settlements too often. So, who was the Minister in May of 2022, Finance Minister? Hon. E. David Burt: I was the Minister of Finance in May 2022. That much I can assure you.

Supplementary. So then considering the fact that not too many settlements are made in court by the Finance Minister, would he consider that a bit odd that he does not remember what the settlement would be?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Notwithstanding the potential surplus the Premier spoke of in his Statement, what is the approximate cost of collections to Government concerning all of the reductions that he mentioned that we would foresee coming for 2025/26?
