Yes. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Considering the Honourable Minister mentioned on page 7 about resolving the many issues, and he also brought up the BUT [Bermuda Union of Teachers] . . . and I must say the Minister has laid out details here, which I am grateful for as to the approach.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And again, the Minister outlined some details, which is very good, actually, for the public to read about how he is addressing the issues. One of the issues that was not addressed was where the BUT mentioned their concern about leadership. Has that come up since the opening of the schools?

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to be associated with the condolences coming from Minister Furbert on the passing of his brother -in-law, Arthur Robinson, and to his wife and their siblings. I got to know him . . .

And to see him still spirited on what he, you know, how he felt about things. But to see that he had passed away was quite [sad]. So, to the Minister, condolences to you and your family for sure. On another lighter note, of course, Malcolm Ming, cut my hair. So, a lot of the St. David’s people went over …

Yes, thank you. And good morning, colleagues and to Bermuda, Mr. Speaker. Yes. My question is, assuming some thought has gone into the types of concessions that [the Minister of] Tourism is looking for to expand and the fact that the Minister has spoken about investment into concessions that would assist tourism, for the public’s edifica-tion can the Minister give …

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Considering that we have increased the resources to $2.9 [mill ion] for the roads, and the Minister mentioned that balancing this type of thing off with the resources and the like is important.
