Furbert: The Honourable Member feels that way. That he knows more than most honour-able tax people in Bermuda. The Honourable Premier has put a significant . . . a …

I am afraid the Honourable Member is misleading the House. That is not a correct characterisation of the two speeches given by the Opposition. Thank you.

Point of order, Mr. Speaker . The Honourable Premier is misleading the House. The expression of concern is not a statement that what you are concerned about is right or wrong. It is an expression of concern which is perfectly legitimate. To impute a motive and suggest that we are somehow arro-gantly —which was a word you used earlier —thinking …

Which you are doing right now. Hon. E. David Burt: So here we go, Mr. Speaker . We heard the Honourable Member say be very wary of people who say bad things will not happen.

Page 36 of the Bill. Hon. E. David Burt: Maybe I am not understanding which differences he is referring to.

Yes, the previous draft said that the Minister shall by regulation prescribe. The current draft, which we are debating, just says “shall be as prescribed.” And I am just wondering who is prescribing. Is it still the Minister by regulation, or is it someone else? Thank you. Hon. E. David Burt: The answer would be the Minister by regulation. But …
