Thank you very much. The CCTV cameras, will they include speed and red lights, running of red lights, at this phase? [Inaudible interjections] Hon. Michael A. Weeks: Mr. Speaker, speed and red lights will be a part of our second phase. This part, this one here, as I said in my Statement, will be for facial recognition for the most …

I am delighted by some of the interpolation that is coming from the Deputy Speaker. And I would just like to assure him that I am sure that none of the 36 Parliamentarians are speeding or running red lights. I very much hope not. [Inaudible interjections and laughter] SUPPLEMENTARIES

There we go. So it would be a nice picture of me, though, would it not? So, Minister, just a supplementary on that. So the licence recognition will be part of this phase, but the speed and the red- light-running will not be part of this phase; is that correct? Hon. Michael A. Weeks: Yes.

Yes, second supplementary. In terms of the speed and the running of red lights, what is the timeframe on that, and is there any particular reason that this is not being rolled out now, given that these cameras were, as you described them, four different cameras in a box, et cetera? Is there any particular reason why this is not …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good morning. And good morning to the Minister. Thank you for your Statement on the Annual Report for the Human Rights Commission. In your Statement at page 2 you highlight that the largest area of discrimination complaints, 24 per cent of discrimination complaints, are those on the protected grounds of disability.

Yes, thank you. Supplementary. I understood the answer there for it to be that the national disabilities plan is the Government’s proposal to improve laws for the disabled in Bermuda. Did I understand that correctly?

Yes, second supplementary. You gave a Statement to the House, Minister, in 2021 (or at least I believe it was 2021) about disabled access to buildings. I am just wondering how that legislative announcement is progressing . Hon. Tinee Furbert: Sorry, Mr. Speaker, I do not recall what the Member is speaking to.

Yes. You gave a Statement to the Honourable House about how you were progressing laws for the disabled in Bermuda. And one of the things that you were looking at or this Government was looking at was accessibility for disabled [persons] to buildings. And I am just wondering how that is progressing. Hon. Tinee Furbert: Again, Mr. Speaker, if that …

One of the other announcements in your Statement this morning is about the 13 members being appointed to the new tribunal panel. I am just wondering how the practicalities of that are being rolled out, or are they rolled out? Is the panel now sit-ting, et cetera? Thank you.

Third and final. You also in 2021 announced proposed legislative updates to the Human Rights Act. That is referred to as well in this annual report. How are those an-nouncements of some two years ago progressing?
