Mr. Speaker, I certainly would like to be associated with the condolences sent to the family of our former Premier, Dr. David Saul. I personally knew Dr. Saul all of my life. My father and mot her were friends with him and his wife. And David —Dr. Saul—was always full of life. He was a man that was very passionate …

I was not planning on speaking on this topic, but having listened to numerous speakers today I felt compelled to stand and add something to the debate. As I said in a debate some time ago, we heard [William] Jefferson Clinton say that he smoked marijuana and did not inhale. I am here to say that I did inhale in …

And I have to make that clear. But I do have, Mr. Speaker, two lovely grandsons today, as I heard my MP friend, MP from Warwick, from [constituency] 26, say. And he knew they were listening. But mine are one year old and just about five, so I am pretty sure they are not listening. Actually, I hope they are …

I have to add that part. I do have certificates to prove that. But, of course, of the six Bermudians that I did drug test, four proved positive. Of course, this can become quite concerning when you are asking gentlemen to operate equipment and things like that. And I know facts. Contrary to what some think, marijuana does not make …

Right? It does not make you jump off buildings. It may lead to further drugs and so on. Mr. Speaker, over the years I have buried many friends that, you know, would have used a combination of marijuana, alcohol, and everything else. But the concern is the use of it. And we certainly do not want to encourage the use …

Goodness. And the productivity just drops. We heard the Minister of Environment state that many contractors —and it is their right —are sta ting that they want a drug- free workplace, and they do want their employees who are using chainsaws and equipment and everything el se being of a clear mind. So, there is that concern as well— operating …

And honourable colleagues, and those in the listening audience. I rise this morning to ask the House to send condolences to the family of my cousin, Emanuel Sousa Moura, who passed away recently.

—and those in the listening aud ience. I just heard comments from the last Member that just took his seat and he spoke quite often about “Two Bermudas.” What part of Bermuda does the Bermuda of Building Blocks Construction, David Durham, and the teams that I saw working at Mor-gan’s Point and the America’s Cup Village . . . what …

Mr. Speaker , Mr. Speaker, yes, I do . . . I do have bullet points in front of me. You better believe I do. But Mr. Speaker, when I said “they” for the last 30 years . . . that meant the United Bermuda Party Government and the Progressive Labour Party that sits on that side. So I would …
