Sorry, just for the sake of clar ity, so it would delete . . . okay, so the Schedule would now . . . instead of reading section 6 and 7, because 7 is the handling provision, so that is out. So that comes out. But we are addressing section 6(1) and (2) only because subsection (3) is the intent …

Thank you and good evening, Mr. Speaker . The Honourable Minister who just took her seat made a comment about the tax impact on her because she does not drink. I want to go on record as saying —alcohol, I know what she means —and I do not drink any more alcohol either. I do not drink any less. [Laughter]

So, I am kind of caught between a rock and a hard place when it comes to that. But, I have to stand. I would be remiss and my wife would beat me if I did not speak on this. It has been touched on but it is such a significant point, and it is one where money could be …

It is like Groundhog Day. That is how I feel, because we are going to stand up and here we go again where there is some significant voice given with regard to the concerns in relation to casino gaming in Bermuda, and all roads always lead back to the same place. And the Government goes quiet on this and does …

This is not what an indepen dent commission does. And like most of the Members over there right now, the Government is sleeping on this issue.
