When my uncles told me stories when I was growing up about how if you went up against the establishment you could get your mor tgage pulled . . . I used to hear those stories, Mr. Speaker . And I use d to think it was an exaggeration. Well, I do not anymore, Mr. Speaker, because I am a …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And so, Mr. Speaker, this is not an ambush. I have met with the Premier. I have expressed my concerns with him. I met with him shortly after this inc ident. I met with him after I received this letter. And I have t o say, to date, I have not received any satisfactory response. But …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to first just correct the Honourable and Learned Member from constit uency 34. She kept referring to it as the mental health court and I think, ultimately, that is where we want to go. I think that we would need to have a special court that is committed to dealing with …

I think you may have di stracted him, Mr. Speaker, in what you may have whi spered to him a minute ago, but I appreciate that, Mr. Speaker. I think we need to take a more comprehensive approach. I do believe that this is probably the first step. The first step in what I hope will be many more steps …

Yes, sir. Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, sometimes I get very confused when I am in this Honourable House hearing from the other side. I can recall, and I see the Honourable Member w ho was once a former Transport Minister when . . . he is not in his seat at the moment, and he may have …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Opposition Leader tried to take credit for it, Mr. Speaker, and got up and said , Well, they are taking our ideas. And so to come and say today that you agree with it in principle, but accuse the Gover nment of trying to do s omething somewhat underhanded, bringing , what he said, a …

Our reference point is the CAA, which is the Civil Aviation Authority. The Ho nourable Member said that there is too much gover nment involvement in this legislation, but if he is aware, the CAA, which he just said he referenced as well, is a public corpor ation of the Department of Transport for the United Kingdom. It falls under …

The CAA has its board members appointed by the Secretary for Transpor t and that is the major reference point for the depend-ent territory of the UK. So it only makes sense for this jurisdiction to look at the model of the UK and ascertain what is appropriate and what is not appropriate. So to accuse the Government of being …

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. The justification for why we established the Civil Aviation Authority is basically the same for why we are establishing the Shipping Authority, Mr. Speaker, so I cer tainly will not repeat what I said earlier. With that said, I did miss the Minister’s presentation, and I apologise for that. He may have gone over this …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will also contribute to the debate very briefly. I also will try not to reflect on a debate to c ome, but I would like to just highlight on the second page of the Act just the characterisation of the marriage that will be before the Registrar under section 24, et cetera, as …

Thank you, Madam Chairman. Just a question on clause 4, the Honourable Minister did allude to it in her brief but did not explain why there is a $205 difference between the ceremony taking place at the office of the Registrar General or at an alternative approved location. I would assume the only difference is travel and $205 for travel …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to clarify again that I am speaking on the proposed amendment as I do intend to speak on the substantive motion. Mr. Speaker, I think that when Members of this Honourable House take the time to examine i ssues that have a profound impact on the community, and they bring them to this Honourable House …

Mr. Speaker , I would like to be associated with the congratulations to Mrs. Muriel Richardson who is, sadly for tourism, about to retire. She, in my view, is the consummate professional. Whomever I spoke to, whether they were tourists or whether they were individual s in the tourism industry in Bermuda, everyone spoke extremely highly of Muriel. And she …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise today to join in the righteous indication, as defined by the Attorney General, which I understand is anger directed towards mistreatment and insult. And I believe that the appar-ent awarding of the Commissioner of E ducation pos ition to a non- Bermudian deserves the reaction of righteous indignation. I believe …
