The Honourable Member is, unfortunately, unintentionally misleading the House. B ecause if he is quoting the Accountant General and he is saying “com pliance,” I am pulling up the transcript of that meeting and there is no mention of compliance from the Accountant General.

I will again ask the Minister of F inance to withdraw those statements. I have made it very clear as to what has happened. If he wants me to produce e- mails from Members of his party that as late as on Monday, at the day of meeting, said that they were going to attend the meeting and to lay …

When the Honourable Minister says, just like this one, he knows that there are differences, the first and most obvious of which I pointed out, it did not go out to tender. But the second one is that the private company does not operate the hospital, whereas this company is operating the airport and will get the revenues. The private …

The Honourable Minister is imputing improper motive, and he is more than welcome to do so, but the Honourable Minister should remember that when unanimous requests come from the Public Accounts Committee there are more One Bermuda Alliance members on that committee than there are PLP members.
