The Honourable Member is imputing improper motives, and unless he can table that e- mail, Mr. Speaker, and show evidence that a nyone on this side is responsible for that, he should not associate us with that e- mail.

The Premier, in his answer, says no tactical options were discussed with members of the Bermuda Police Service on the 1 st or the 2nd. My question is, Can the Honourable Premier inform us if any tactical options were discussed with the Deputy Governor or Members of Cabinet on those two days, if not the Bermuda Police Service?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It would be remiss for us, certainly on this side if we did not at least get up and associate ourselves with the condolences that were offered to the family of Mrs. Elizabeth D ookie- Scott, wife of former Senate Leader, Minister of Education, Milton Scott. I knew both. Obviously , knowing Milton, I would know …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker . Mr. Speaker , perhaps things just do not happen in the right time because perhaps if the Honour able Member in constituency 31 had been the pitchman for this particular Bill, and it had the benefit of coming to the House earlier, we probably would not even be here, because I must say he presented …

Well, Bermudians are the par tners in this tourism experience. They actually are the people that we rely on to assure that a visitor has a good experience in Bermuda. And that comes with making sure that Bermudians feel good about being in Bermuda. If Bermudians are stressed and aggravated and dissatisfied with their experience at home, that is going …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker . So, that is what we all did at one point. Now, it is not the same expression that we do now. We would not necessarily encourage the same thing now. And I get that. Because things have changed, the exper ience of riding a livery cycle is different than it was when many of us …

Okay. So there is going to be either option. But, again, there is a concern that we are adding anoth er fossil fuel driven vehicle to the whole mix in Bermuda. Now, Mr. Speaker , I must admit that perhaps I and others might have been a little bit more settled with this particular initiative if we had seen the …

I do not know that. I am just hearing what they said. I have not seen it and no one directed me to where I could see an option. I have not seen it or some of the options that might be available. I am just saying that that in itself might have helped some people to be settled with …

Not only dishonesty, but dis ability, frankly, that you have to destroy something to build up your own credibility. Argue your case in the face of whatever challenges you face and take out those arguments that challenge you one by one at a time to give credibility to your argument. Do not totally destroy and say, Well, that has absolutely …
