Mr. Speaker, thank you for acknowledging me. The Bermuda Immigration and Protection Amendment (Adoption) Act 2016 I think does repr esent what a previous Member had characterised as being the low -hanging fruit out of the suite of tasks that have been attached to that committee, which, as the Member from constituency 5 pointed out, was formed out of the …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. If I may, just very quickly, I mean, anytime I hear the term Career Pathways being used it warms my heart. I know it came out of the Mincy Report. I just want to say this, the Minister talked about the STEAM and STEM education. My question is, Are there any teaching modules that promote …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. To the Minister, I understand in response to my question that you did outline a number of real or potential collaborative efforts to get our young st udents on the coding bandwagon by probably making these partnerships with non- governmental organis ations.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Madam Deputy Speaker, I heard the Minister, the Member from constituency 22, just speak. And I noticed that he talked about that it takes more than just talking about this.

I agree, I agree. And my apologies. But it was kind of ridiculed by a Member (I am not going to call his name) on the other side. I have just been reminded it was the Member for constituency 25. But notwithstanding that now, clearly people are starting to understand that this i ndustry is for real, and it is …

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This has been a very stimulating debate. I am sure it has been that for the listeners at home who are listening on the radio. I just want to say right off the top that I am not totally convinced that a for -profit health care system like we have, based more on the American …

This question about highrisk equipment, we know that things such as most of the diagnostic equipment that we routinely know and associate with the practice of health care, why the term “h igh risk” as opposed to rather just labelling it as “diagnostic” equipment?

The Minister is misleading the House. I do not think any of the Members here said that, that one is in favour of wanton spending. I think what the Members were saying, I think the concern was that the disproportionate burden for reform was being placed on one group, one segment of the whole health care establishment.

Thank you, Madam Chai rman. Notwithst anding what has just been discussed here again about clause 2 with respect to “high risk health technology”, I want to come back to that no-menclature “high risk health technology.” The Minister did indicate that it is a term whose provenance comes from the World Health [Organization]. I believe she said that. That was …

The Member makes jest. We need to understand how these things are linked with what is happening today. In the article, they mention the Mincy Report. The Mincy Report was a comparative study between young black males and their same- age peers on the issues of earnings, ed ucation, job opportunities and the like. And at the end of the …

Yes, sir. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. To the Junior Minister, in light of the fact that Mr. Schuetz has worked extensively in the Las Vegas - based industry and with respect to Caesars, the question about Caesars, does that not invoke potential conflicts of interest, bearing in mind that Caesars has been invited to look at the Bermuda market?
