Mr. Speaker, my, my, my. You get the sense that there is an election coming— and perhaps not just the one on Wednesday. I don’t usually speak on the motion to adjourn, but as the last six or seven people have all been party political broadcasts, I thought I might stand up and do my bit for this side of …

I am afraid that MP Famous (not for the first time) is mischaracterising events. Anyway, I am not going to go low. I am going to go high. And I am going to go high by just touching on a few points. Some of them have to do with the OBA candidate, Robert Ki ng, who obviously we endorse and …

Mr. Speaker, my colleague, MP Susan Jackson, has spoken to the substance of the Bill. And I do not propose to add to those perceptive and heartfelt remarks. Let me be clear: the Opposition accepts that health data collection is necessary and accepts that health data collection should be encouraged. And when Minister Kim Wilson said, “You cannot manage what …

Thank you. Well, that was a barnstormer, wasn’t it? Goodness me! Democracy and roses and puppies. The OBA called for an independent commission of inquiry swiftly after the cyberattack. We learned in this honourable Parliament today that a Bill has been tabled— today —to fix the problems (we hope) before any joint select committee has even been debated upon or …

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Premier, in May 2023 the Attorney General’s Chambers entered into a contract with the Attorney General’s husband’s company, Onyx Limited, to pro-vide legal services to the Bermuda Government.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I am asking whether or not the Premier of our country was aware of a government contract. That is a perfectly legitimate question. It does not impute an improper motive.
