So I am just simply stating my opinion. And I just want to say that when I turned 18, Mr. Chairman, the last thing that was on my mind was registering to vote in the next election. There were a number of things on my list to do at 18 years old, and registering was not one of them. So …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I also had the opportunity to be on the City Hall steps while International Women’s Day was celebrated. And as I sat there, I heard the contributions made from women on their vision of 2030 and where they see females in Berm uda. And one of the two main themes that kind of …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, I just want to look at the amendment. The first amendment that I have made based on unemployment levels being at an unprec edented level. I felt the need to change this statement to read that there are concerns related to unemployment. Because with “unprecedented” meaning never done or known before, the statement …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is important to have in this support group somebody to talk to when feeling overwhelmed. And this is not necessarily the same person who probably is babysitting your children, but it can be someb ody else. It is very stressful as a woman trying to handle everything alone and on your own. I …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Madam Deputy Speaker, what we have heard today were attacks on the OBA’s policies, with no real plan from the PLP to address the Bermudian people’s needs. Hon. Marc A. R. Bean: Tell us your plan. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

None of them have tried to stand up and make Bermudians understand just how serious this debt is, especially young Bermudians, Madam Deputy Speaker, as they will be the ones who are potentially carrying this burden. And you know, I thought that the other Member on the other side, the Honourable Member, the younger Member on the other side, would …

You are accumulating a $2,000- a-month deficit every month. So just hold that scenario in your head, Madam Deputy Speaker. [Inaudible interjections] [Gavel]

What do you do about it? How do you survive? Do you control spending, Madam Deputy Speaker? Do you look at ways to bring in other income while cutting or controlling your expenses that you currently have? Would that not be the responsible thing to do, Madam Deputy Speaker? Well, Madam Deputy Speaker, that is exactly what this Government is …

That is exactly what the O pposition did, and will do if given the opportunity. They have a record of governing irresponsibly. I do not have to make this up, Madam Deputy Speaker. Just check the facts. And I heard Members on their side talking about the facts all night. And it actually reminded me of that CARFAX commer cial …

Madam Deputy Speaker, the OBA Government was tasked to make the tough dec isions to get Bermuda back on track. And all these problems that the PLP set up and mentioned tonight, they did not arise overnight. They did not arise when the OBA Government came into power. People were unemployed under them, Madam Deputy Speaker! The OBA w as …

And you know what, Madam Deputy Speaker? I find it interesting, I really had a little giggle to myself at this one, when I looked at the Budget Reply, and I am quoting from the Budget R eply when the Shadow Finance Minister says, “I do not want the people of this country to believe that the Progressive Labour Party …

I think it is so funny how they portray themselves to be Bermudian saviours. I mean, they got us into this mess , Madam Deputy Speaker! They drove us down this dangerous path! It is ama zing to me. And if they want to challenge it, Madam Deputy Speaker, just have them check the facts. [Inaudible interjections and laughter] [Gavel]
