I would like to speak to the amendment I proposed. Thank you very much, Madam Chairman. Madam Chairman, I would like to thank the Minister for agreeing to the amendment that has been offered by the Opposition.

Thank you very much. I was trying to bring us back from the prec ipice of partisanship, which is unusual for me standing up in this House, but the Honourable Minister of Community Affairs is trying to take me back there.

Thank you very much. The Minister —the $550,000 for the increase in GEHI —I am assuming the only reason for that is because GEHI itself went up overall?

Thank you very much. During the debate on the Heads of expenditure for the police, the Honourable Minister of National Security, when our opposite [Member] on this side had stated that there was no agreement with police, [the Minister] said that some alternate arrangement has been reached.

Thank you very much, Madam Chairman. Bermuda House of Assembly Madam Chairman, just taking off my Shadow Minister of Finance hat for a second and putting on my hat as Chairman of the Public Accounts Commi ttee, it is quite shocking to hear the Honourable Mini ster of Education say that in the end we needed our original budget.

I have no issue retracting the statement because I honestly . . . the Minister was laughing as he said it. That much being said, and you could see the looks on his front bench where people were slightly complexed. That is what happened. We saw it from here. All I am saying is that budgets are serious matters and …

Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief. But knowing that we are back here on something else following on something else following on something else following on something that originated way back in 2013, where on this side of the House we were very clear that the Government may have been getting themselves into a tricky situation.

Well, . . . and here is what I would say. I would say I thank the Honourable Deputy Speaker for her clarification, because she is right. But she had a time to do it again a few days ago. And she did not vote for a joint select committee. She had the chance. So, she has done it before. …

Point of order. The Honourable Member is clearly misleading the House. He may not have been in the House when the Attorney General of the country asked why the police were not arresting protesters!
