Thank you, Honourable Member, Madam Chairman. Yes. Just one question on page 2, clause 4 under Head 8A, the chart, (1) the Annual registration fee for a vacation rental certificate, Bermuda Tourism Au-thority Act 2013. So the bands that are here for the sec-tion 4(1)(i), (ii), (iii) are all $2,000. These are based on ARVs. And then you look at …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We will not be long on this at all. (Yes, the last one was long.) This is something that we agree with. We are happy to see that the clauses that have been put in place to strengthen the government’s position as far as offences and the likes are concerned have been actually put in …

Yes. Mr. Speaker, I mean, I am not sure what we are listening to here, but I would not a llow the public to be misled as to where we are in our history in Bermuda. We are here —Payroll Tax Amendment Act. I hear people talking about being on the fence. There is no question about me being on …

We are in this position, Mr. Speaker, because of the times we are living in. When the OBA was Government, it was the first Government to attack those high earners who were not declaring proper salaries to the Government —dentists and the like. Hon. E. David Burt: That’s not true.

That is true. I was there, Premier. Dentists and the like were declaring that their salaries were half and a quarter as much as they were. And if it was not for the Honourable Bob Richards at the time going after this situation to make it real that, no, no, no, no, no, this is not going to continue to …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am talking about the state that we are in. Maybe he is not understanding the state that we are in and what is driving this here. And I will close with this here. Clearly the inspiration here is desperation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I will take 10 minutes. Last w eek we had the opportunity of listening to the Honourable Caines talk about on the roads, and then this evening Honourable Member Minister Weeks —a very sobering two speeches that were given. And then to listen to the Honourable Member Weeks who has persona lly experienced the wrath of the roads, I do …

[It is] ladies as well. And those who are passing on the roads are not just young people, but they are my age as well. And I must admit, last week when I left here was the scariest time I had. Three riders . . . I did not even hear them. Usually, you hear the bike. For whatever reason, …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Under the leadership of the PLP, the civil servant that I know of (is a very close friend of mine) joined while the PLP are Government. He was heading up to the west and on business for Bermuda. And coming the opposite direction was a young man who was popping a wheelie on the other …

Four [road fatalities] already. And then to listen to the statistics that Minister Weeks was coming up [with]. I am hoping that we can find some way to resolve this iss ue, [to] curb the tide of the speeding on our roads. And I must say, even if you go to 50cc , man, these 50ccs, I do not know …

Thank you, Deputy Speaker and Chairman. Yes. Under item 3, Public Works, we recognise that 36 current accounts for the hurricane works the Minister spoke of, Paulette, Teddy, Humberto. And one of those was in 2019. So I guess the question is, I am just assuming that because we had several, I think two in 2020, I guess it piled …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chai rman. Just to go back to line item number 1 under Cabinet Office, Tourism. Because we did not get a chance t o go through any line items during the debate, I am just curious. Are we going to continue to potentially do as much, $400,000 or maybe even more? Which I would suggest as …

At this hour. I guess the whole [what] I would call debacle of these court acts going back and forth here has been played out to the public. The public have made their concerns known. The Corporation has made its concerns known. We saw in the past where the Senate, the other place, was successful in their bid with the …

Yes. Thank you. T hank you, Mr. Speaker. I was having trouble getting [the State-ment] downloaded, but I finally did. The Minister mentioned several folk who are in organisations who attended. And typically in the past these events have involved local agencies also—and declaring my interest —like the fuel companies because of the high ris k that they propose or …

Yes. Thank you. And good morning, colleagues and to Bermuda. On page B -197 under the Priorities and Objectives, I was just curious. I will go down to the bottom of the page on B -197 under Administration, 4801, under Administration, 58000 and, of course, 58010, Transpor-tation and Planning Team. I understand under Transportation and Planning Team nothing has changed …
