But as I begin my contribution, I just wanted to address something that has come up a few times in our conversations to-day. It …

—I would also like to say that it was good to hear Minister Furbert say that she is not blind to the fact that people need more social support.

IB is taking care of itself, we know that. So, I focus my comments on everyday Bermudians. And when I mean everyday Bermudians, I mean low-income Bermudians. I mean what used to be the middle- class Bermudia ns. I mean the Bermudians who are struggling day -to-day to get through their daily existence. Now, one of the things that I …

Yes, yes. So, the Government's budget, as I mentioned earlier, fails to match the scale and keep pace with the challenges facing our young people, our families, and our seniors. At a time when social needs are continuing to rise, this budget . . . the budget largely reflects incremental adjustments. What we need is targeted investments to ensure that …

This is where we are. This is the reality, Mr. Speaker. So, it makes sense that targeted relief helps to ensure that those who are financially stable do not receive the same benefit as those who are financially unstable.
