In accordance with protocol, I would also like to add my congratulations. I'm sorry that he is not standing next to me right now or sitting next to me to hear this, but as you've already noted to the Hon-ourable House that he is unwell and has taken his leave. Let me say that Robert King is a man of …

—there are a few condolences also of party member s or people who have been involved in the One Bermuda Alliance. I, too, shall adopt what the Premier just did and defer to others behind me because each of them, I think, has a personal condolence to give in that regard. But I just join with them in those remarks …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking the Honourable Premier and Finance Minister for his presentation to the House on this important Bill. There is a long history here, and it involves the UK and the O verseas Territories. And this is a very important Bill. And so, whilst it is full of jargon, it is important, …

So, the Registrar of Companies is supposed to be a repository of information. It is not supposed to be a regulator. And why do I say that? I say that because you do not want one regulator over here, our regulator , the Bermuda Monetary Authority, giving down rules, and another quasi -regulator over here, the ROC, the Registrar of …

We were really doing so well. Obviously, the Honourable Premier has his own businesses, and if he wishes to declare that he is a beneficial owner of certain businesses, he may do so and can do so. I make the point that it is on the p arliamentary website for all to see. But what is sauce for the goose …

And I will charge him if he likes it. Hon. E. David Burt: The Honourable Member is incensed when there is no reason for him to be incensed. So, I will go back to the point. The reason why the Honourable Member is so passionate about this issue is that this is their work day - to-day. And what I …

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I only have this one question in C ommittee, but I think it is an important one. A nd it is just really something I am flagging for the technical officer to go back and have a think about. And that relates to clause 6( 1) of the Bill, which deals with “beneficial owner ” (in …

I was going so well. I am going to ask a question only so the Premier can give the benefit of the confirmation. This is clause 10, at page 8, over the page [subclause] (3), “The minimum required information referred to in subsection (2) that the legal person shall enter in its beneficial ownership register shall be adequate, accurate and …

But I would very much hope that the issue of “ current ” will be addressed in the guidance notes, and I am sure the Premier will say yes it will. Again, for those working on the guidance notes, one would think that even a master criminal could fake some KYC, but maybe normal people should just have to submit …

My question is following on from the matters that were just discussed with the Honoura-ble Opposition Leader. Namely, the Honourable Minister's Statement today, and I quote, that “Mr. Speaker” (or, indeed, it would be Madam Deputy Speaker) “we must acknowl edge ongoing challenges. The Coast Guard's fleet of 11 vessels, primarily composed of ageing former police boats, restricts its operational …
