Yes, I believe in the Premier’s answer he just said that the government pension fund, the public service superannuation fund, does not have any fees. That is not a budgeted item in the Government budget. How does that run, and how are costs taken from that fund if it has no fees? Hon. E. David Burt: So, we are talking …

Second supplemental. Looking for a straight answer to a straight question. Will there be any change to the government sector pension fees? Thank you. Hon. E. David Burt: So the thing is, Mr. Speaker, there are not individual fees, because the Government plan is not individual plans. However, I am happy to make the particular commitment that if the fees …

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you to the Honourable and gallant Minister. I have three questions arising under clause 7 [amending section 20 of the principal Act].

Thank you, and good morning, Mr. Speaker. Good morning to the Honourable Premier. Given the welcome news that Bermudians should finally be able to pay parking tickets online, can the Honourable Premier and Finance Minister share with the public and this Honourable House roughly how much money is due in unpaid parking tickets? Hon. E. David Burt: I do not …

Well, yes. That is why I was asking the question because there were no figures given in the Statement. Supplementary. Presumably, the Honourable Premier does have a rough idea about how much is due, $1 million, $2 million, et cetera? 1420 28 June 2024 Official Hansard Report Bermuda House of Assembly The Speaker: Remember.

Okay. I will move on. My second question, Mr. Speaker, is, Does the Honourable Premier envisage any period of amnesty for the people who are going to pay on this new portal to pay their tickets? And if so, will they be able to pay during an amnesty period at the original fee of the original ticket? Thank you.

Supplementary. That removal of vehicles previously used to be carried out by TCD using the TCD vehicle, correct? Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: We have always rented, used another truck, a person’s truck.

Supplementary. So the removal has always been through private rental vehicles? Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: I cannot say that it has always been. [Inaudible interjections] Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: Yes, you are right. I have not always been the Minister. So I am not sure how you guys handled it. Did you move any trucks? I am not sure either. …

Yes, second question. Just in terms of the process, when the bike or car is collected, before it goes to the dump it has to have oil and petrol, if still left in the vehicle, removed. How does that process work? Hon. Wayne L. Furbert: Mr. Speaker, we rely on the person whom we hire to actually do all of …

There is not a great deal to be said about this amending Bill. And I have just a few brief points. By way of background, although we did hear about this in the Honourable Finance Minister’s brief, there are two earlier Bills, both of this year. The first is the Registrar of Companies (Annual Corporate Regulatory Fees) Act 2024. That …
