I will just close with these remarks, Mr. Speaker. In closing, Mr. Speaker, in the era of hyper - partisanship, at least with the respect to the joint s elect committee we have beaten the odds, Members of the committee representing the Government and O pposition Members signing this final report. And I will concede that, notwithstanding that ther e …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, sometimes it can be very easy to say promises made; promises kept. I am not going to attempt to try to use that language right now. As you know, we are celebrating the first year of a PLP Government. And it has been a very productive year, Mr. Speaker, as you know, although some …

I only have 20 minutes, I know. Thanks for reminding me, Member. But I just want to share very quickly, Mr. Speaker, some of those achievements with the listeners out there in radioland. As you know, the Premier gave a national address, just yesterday. In a series of media appearances he outlined the very real, tangible , and dynamic achievements …

Mr. Speaker, I am just a humble MP. And I do not have any question that deals with significant matters of state or national interests. Just something that is of concern to my constituents. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier provide the Honourable House with the status of the project located at Parsons Road immediately east of Fenton Drive? That project …

Mr. Deputy Speaker, I am feeling very enthused about the things I have heard so far about the Progressive Labour Party’s achiev ements in restoring hope and optimism amongst our young and our young adults. But we know there is so much more to do. Members would have received the other day, the Bermuda National Workforce Development Plan. I think …

Certainly, when Mr. Arnold came down . . . when the Workforce Development concept was conceptualised and implemented, that would, in essence, have been the first plan. Now, there was certainly a gap between then and later, and I will concede that point. But it started …
