—and the physician— [Inaudible interjections] Mr. Anthony Richardson: Well, the comment was from me, How much time do you have to service (that’s not the word) but to examine me (let’s call it)? Let’s say “examine me.” And thankfully I was aware of the person and they were able to have a full conversation. And the full conversation was [that] …

And my response was, How can that be because you never know how long it is going to take to examine me? Thankfully though their response was that they do not go by that guideline. They go by the fact of, well, guess what? It is going to take as long as necessary until I am able to “sort you …

I take your point that you want to move quickly. I understand that. I just want to have a few quick comments, Mr. Speaker . Certainly for Bermuda, we need to make sure that we address and understand the emotions and the people who are behind these negative circumstances. And, clearly, on Friday there were some tragic events. And I …

Good morning, Mr. Speaker, and to those in the listening audience and my colleagues. I was told that I can choose between “beautiful” and “ladies in red.” I choose both.

Good morning, Mr. Speaker. We are on the cusp of the afternoon, but good morning, Mr. Speaker, to my colleagues and those in the listening audience. Mr. Speaker, I came into the House this morning with an idea to give some comments. And then I said, Well, the Minister’s brief was actually so comprehensive there is no need for me …

Why, Mr. Speaker? Because she came with all of these connotations that made me think, What in the world is going on? And, Mr. Speaker, the definition of “bogeyman” is “an imaginary evil . . . spirit.” The bogeyman is “an imaginary evil spirit . . . used to frighten children.” [Inaudible interjections]

Mr. Speaker, clearly we are not children. But the intent or the emphasis . . . And, MP Cannonier, you are right. Basically what she is say-ing is, We should be afraid! But guess what, Mr. Speaker? The other thing I looked at is, what happens when you cry wolf? Mr. Speaker, I want to really ask the Opposition to …

Why? Because, Mr. Speaker, depending upon the number of staff and your payroll tax bill, this represents a 10 per cent savings to your operations. Again, once you do your calculations and it does . . . yes it does! Yes it does. So, when you do your calculation, the payroll tax for the company could be as high as …

The calculator I used is the calculator called payroll tax: understanding- what -I’mdoing calculator. Mr. Speaker, obviously trying to be polite . . .

I can breathe better. No problem. So, Mr. Speaker, this time of year is always a joy to me because I get a chance to sit, to listen, to at-tend as much as I can and I learn. And I will say that for this year, several things I have learned, and I trust I am able to explain it …

But it was interesting for me just to understand how BHB is funded. I also obviously reflected on the idea, or I made sure I understood the impact of freezing the hospital premiums, or the standard hospital benefit premiums in terms of how it has a positive impact on all of us in that we will not have to pay …
