Mr. Speaker, I have seen a det erioration in journalism in Bermuda. It has concerned me over the last few weeks. The unfair, the improper, the jaded, the slanted nature of reporting that we have seen in our country.

And when I saw the “Lost Yet Found” campaign . . . oh, Mr. Speaker, I was excited. I saw us jumping off of t he rocks. I saw us doing the things that we naturally do. Not two horses walking on a beach. And that was important and had its place. But guess what? We have finally grown comfortable …

That we support her and that she has our support. Why? B ecause as a country we are at a crossroads, Mr. Speaker. We have no other choice but to succeed, and they have done their sums.

The question that I would like to pose this afternoon, Mr. Speaker, is: Are we our brother’s and sister’s keepers? We have heard from MP Famous and he, in his opening delivery, shared that there has to be a step change. The step change has to centre around this community coming together, working on problems, putting our shoulder to the …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I echo the sentiments of the Minister of N ational Security who just spoke, and previously before him, MP Jamahl Simmons. Like both MPs, it was a shock and a horror to learn this morning of another gun-related i ncident which has led to the death of a Bermudian man. Mr. Speaker, that has become an …
