The Honourable Minister is unfortunately misleading the House. There is no suspicion whatsoever. The questions that were asked are fair questions. Just trying to understand a little better what the Minister may be thinking. There is no suggestion that the Minister and the Chief Immigration Officer cannot do the job.

Does the Premier plan on following up with the JMC members to maybe . . . because it was brought up by another member, I would assume that then it means that there is some support.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. On page 2, first paragraph, the Premier mentioned an “ enhanced representation of Bermuda’s global interests ” (highlighting) “the need for a modern partnership . . .”.

Yes. Hon. E. David Burt: I know that we have experienced it in our time in office. It is sometimes incredibly frustrating in dealing in matters of the international spheres.
