The Honourable Member is clearly misleading the House and attempting to rewrite hi story. The Progressive Labour Party never said there was an issue . . . nothing that the Government can do about crime. The issue was with the control of the Bermuda Police Service, and that Honourable Member knows that very clearly. The Speake r: Thank you, thank …

Once again, Mr. Speaker , the Honourable Member is misleading the House. The Progressive Labour Party did not say they could not do anything about crime. That is w hy there were multiple measures that were passed to increase police powers under their watch. It was about the Bermuda Police Service when discussing issues with the Governor. The Speaker: Thank …

Good evening and thank you . . . or good morning! And thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker. Madam Deputy Speaker, last week, or eight days ago, the people of Bermuda were treated to a Throne Speech as read by His Excellency the Governor.

—said that the PLP’s response, Madam Deputy Speaker, was ideas and no details. Well, at least our speech had ideas, because the OBA’s speech had few ideas and certainly did not have any details. What it did contain was a lot of words and phrases, such as, “assess the feasibility”, “examine the ramifications”, “form a committee”, “investigate how”. Then, MP …

I will read a few of those items right now, Mr. Speaker. • Last year we heard a referendum on gaming will take place in the first quarter of 2014. We all know what happened to that. • We heard that there will no longer be conscription for the Bermuda Regiment. The notices have gone to newspaper again for conscription. …

Mr. Speaker, what I will say is, we have the confiscated funds from the Proceeds of Crime Act, and I invite the Honourable Premier, when he responds, to tell us what confiscated funds from the Proceeds of Crime Act went to fund short -term initiatives for out -of-work Bermudians.

Mr. Speaker, the Honourable Premier has made my point. That there was no cash from the Proceeds of Crime Act to fund short -term initiatives for out -of-work Bermudians. We got cash back for communities, but we did not get this, for out - of-work Bermudians, Mr. Speaker. I will continue: • A national strategy needs to be developed to …

Now, Mr. Speaker, that was just a short list. That was not the full list of items that were promised last year but that were not delivered. There are more than 20 ideas that were promised that were not done. And, Mr. Speaker, I cannot go through them all. But the question is: Does that sound like a GovBermuda House …

Mr. Speaker, I will . . . we can go back to the Hansard and hear what he said, but the fact is that he said that this point 0.7, was not really any growth. And that is a fact. And he has just gotten up and said that there was not any real growth in the economy. So, if …

Mr. Speaker, I will put it this way. It is very interesting that every time I get up to speak and make a point, that the Members on that front bench do not think I understand. I get it quite well. The people of this country understand that there are less jobs in this country than when the One Bermuda …

Mr. Speaker, the Honourable Member is misleading the House, or he has not been listening, because there have been many points in time in the previous session where we spoke about the jobs that come from technology, that come from accounting, that come from customer service, that come inside of banking, that are all related to online gaming. And if …
