Official Hansard Report - House of Assembly

Good morning, Mr. Speaker , thank you. Being as there were 25 applications made and none considered this year, I just wanted to ask for the aid of the listening public, whether or not a ful some release of the credentials being looked for by the commit-tee will be made public ? And if there is not already, where can …

A supp leme ntary , Mr. Speaker. I want to state as well that I respect the bipartisanship of the committee and was not trying to challenge that. The supplementary I am bringing forward is not for the deliberations, but because we had 25 nomina-tions and none were accepted, I think it might beg the question that maybe we provide …

I just would like to clarify that the Bill does stipulate the nomination process. It does stipulate the makeup of the board, but not necessarily anything specific as to what is being looked for . Except for how folks may qualify such as, you know, being posthumously nominated and different things like that. So, I guess my final question on …

Mr. Speaker, that is exactly my point that, you know, I think we might want to con-dense the idea of a National Hero in the eyes of the public to avoid any confusion.

She’s having fun , she’s having fun. So, the legislation does stipulate that it will be considered every 10 years past this point. I just wanted a slight bit of clarity. With there not being a National Hero nominated in this particular round, does that mean that there will not be any consideration for new submissions going forward until 10 …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My colleague already stated that we support this, but I just wanted to bring something forward from my time in canvassing that I've noticed a lot of seniors over the age of 65 who qualify for an exemption underneath the current legislation are not truly aw are, and I've walked through this process with a lot …

I just wanted to inquire and bring this forward to the Government as to whether or not they've considered making this exemption auto-matic for our seniors who qualify for it. Because what I've heard from constituents on the doorstep with mobility issues or all manner of things that prevents them from potentially getting this in or having to call in …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And good evening to the listening audience. And I just wanted to jump up and give a bit of a juxtaposition to the amount of rhetoric that we're currently being buried under. I'd like to cut to the chase here and say this : to translate, first of all, the One Bermuda Alliance, as stated by …

Thank you. I don't want to let the night go away with some things that I've heard as far as challenging the validity of voters on this side and voters who have voted for Members on this side. And I find that that assertion, that members of the public and the electorate who are equal when they cast their one …

A lot of folks understand, right? The message that was being said was that a lot of our constituents and the constituents of those opposite are in need of a lot more relief than $6 .

Now, this is not to diminish it. As I said, another Member said, you know, $6 is better than zero. I agree. I absolutely agree. But what I don't want it to be is a political tool used in a way in which tries to divide the electorate, divide those who vote. [Inaudible interjections]

And it's . . . and the thing is, what we have to remember is that when we come into this Chamber we are not the OBA representative of constituency 25. We are just representatives of each constituency.
