Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker . Madam Deputy Speaker, this debate and the opposition that has evolved around this airport deal has less to do with whether or not we need a new ai rport, and more to do with the terms and conditions that the airport will be built under.

No, no, not Pitcairn. A fellow . . . I should say Overseas Territory (if you speak modern day nomenclature). I just like “Colony,” because that is what it is. They spent £285 million to put an airport in St. Helena. St. Helena is one of the most isolated Over-seas Territories. One of the most isolated places in the world. …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, given that December 2 nd was an ominous day for Bermuda, which was rife with tension and led to a series of unfortunate events, does the Premier have any regrets at all that, given our const itutional position vis -à-vis the UK, he, as the duly elected leader of this country , does not …

Mr. Speak-er, under the leadership of Fidel Castro, there were …
