I believe the Honourable Member may be unintentionally misleading the House because he fails to recognise that Morgan’s Point and all that has come to this Government as a cons equence of decisions that the OBA made were before his time. But I do believe there were people who knew about that when they were in election mode. And this …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have been around a long time. And I remember coming to this House in much the same way my young daughter is doing so now, listening to many budget debates, Throne Speech Replies and the like. And I remember how the late Dame Lois [Browne -Evans], who I used to vi sit and …

No, not only my “Economic View,” my two bags that have all the old Budget Books! I learned that b eing in the Senate when I used a mouthful of something. A fellow used to come up lunchtime with a big stack of stuff and hit me with the facts. So, you know, sometimes imitation is the best form of …

From Scaur, whose mother was an Anderson, my grandfather’s sister, as one of my grandfather’s many sisters. She very much became the matriarch of the family and one who held dear those strong family connections that permeated in the community that you are more than aware of, Mr. Speaker . I know I speak on behalf of all of the …

Andrew Jackson was the President of the United States and, I think, he and many others owned slaves. So, I do not think t hat statement that the Honourable Member made is quite correct. You could very well be reflected in history as being everything and done many things that have not been recorded. So, I do not think that …

Mr. Speaker, I, first of all, would like to start off by thanking the Honourable Mi nister for Community and Culture, the Member from St. David’s, a St. Georgian through and through, born and bred, the Honourable Lovitta Foggo, for bringing an important historical Bill to Parliament to recognise far more fully the contribution for Bermuda and globally of Mary …

No, I did not say you did. I said you corrected that I mentioned an American President, and you spoke to the American President who was most known for owning slaves. I named one that I was familiar with. Maybe because in the current context with what is happening in America Andrew Jackson’s name has come up more times than …

Which is why, then, when in the modern context when the Progressive Labour Party brought forward a Bill to look at land grabs in the country and it was turned down by the current Governor of Bermuda that would have currency. Because to do so would see the connection of past Governors and the Crown from England for which they …

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I am duty-bound to speak on some legislation that will have a very positive impact on the East End, St. George’s in particular —a great seaport with historical signif icance which has been hosting superyachts for cent uries. With the modern superyachts, I am reminded of the [yacht] Fleurtje , which used to grace Bermuda’s shores back …
