Mr. Speaker, I am also thankful because at some point in my life I was the Ac-countant General. But it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that there was a man, there were two of them actually. One man was named Ed Daniels who was a master mason. He had a good friend named Mr. Kelsey Smith. And one day …

Your alma mater. Where my wife happens to be the school principal, Dr. Holly Richardson. I walked in, there were some young people and I said, Good afternoon. And they of course, the teacher actually, the deputy principal, said, Hey, say good afternoon to Mr. Richardson. A bright smile came on, Good afternoon, Mr. Richardson. And they went about their …

This one, I assume that the Member is misleading unintentionally because the idea that the public system is no longer able to create students who achieve is not correct. At this point in time, people have to understand that many of our public school students, they actually go in the Dual Enrolment Programme which means they are able to graduate …

Again, I truly am trying my best not . . . to remain in my seat, but I think the Member is, and I will say, unintentionally misleading the House in this case. I will go back to what I said earlier. The Member is making it seem as if everybody in public education (right?) is less than and that …

Good evening, Mr. Speaker. Good evening to my colleagues and the listening audience. Mr. Speaker, I too am privileged to be able to be here. I have said many, many times that I truly con-sider it to be an honour to stand here before the people of Bermuda, especially those in constituency 7, Hamilton South, as the Progressive Labour Party …

Stay focused, Mr. Speaker. The one thing I am going to say, though, Mr. Speaker, is that what amazes me, Mr. Speaker, is that when we come together, especially today, we all got this Reply at the same time.

Without any consultation amongst my direct colleagues, Mr. Speaker, it was amazing that many of us came to the same solution. I skimmed this document, and what did I do? I came to the last page and I too realised that despite the rhetoric that is in the T hrone Speech Reply the OBA are clearly not ready for what …

Yes, yes, you have somebody in my seat. Mr. Speaker, I will continue on. The other thing that I will say is that . . . and I want this [to go to] the listening audience, Mr. Speaker, is that some time ago and it was a sermon that I was listening to. And the minister said, I am responsible …

Because they said some things today, and I am going to tell them what I heard. And what I will say, and people know this also, Mr. Speaker, is that to the Honourable Jarion Richardson, we knew him before he was the Leader, and he has a certain personality and there are some characteristics about him that we all do …

Mr. Speaker, with your permission, I will therefore read what is in their Reply. As I said, the Leader should surely take responsibility for what is written. With your permission, Mr. Speaker, “ And we are so far from having participated in civic discourse and politics, many of us forgot that that is both a right and a duty. Some …

Mr. Speaker, as I said, from the PLP, Mr. Speaker, we remain certainly as a party that is designed and focused on the people. The evidence is that the Government has maintained over the past several years constant fuel prices, because it wanted to make sure that those who drive and do what they need to do are able to …

I will leave that one alone. But clearly, if you go to the back of the book, Mr. Speaker, I would say that they are currently suffering from those five Ps because they did not have candidates for all of these areas, which means that they are not quite prepared, Mr. Speaker. [Inaudible interjection]

Mr. Speaker, I stand very, very proudly as the representative for constituency 7, Hamilton South, knowing that I was the first PLP representative to win that seat. And, clearly, I have more than intention to hold that seat, Mr. Speaker. I go back to this idea on page 5 that the Honourable Jarion Richardson says is not his quote, but …

Mr. Speaker, one of the fallacies of this OBA Reply to the Throne Speech is that recent bye- elections show a change in desire. But, Mr. Speaker, unless I am completely wrong, none of the bye-elections resulted in a change in terms of a different party win ning it. Mr. Speaker, my recollection is that we have had three. One …
