—the Honourable and Learned Member — Mr . Wayne Caines: Gallant. Mr . Scott Pearman: No, I don’t think he is gallant. Are you gallant as well? He is gallant I am told. He is self - declared gallant. [ Inaudible interjection] Mr . Scott Pearman: —for his observations that there are bad actors in every sphere. I actually do …

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you Minister for your Statement to this Honourable House this morning. At the second page of your Statement you said that the fire services are already understaffed. Your Statement dealt with the position at the airport. It does not appear from the budget that there is any additional funding for staff. So, how …

You also said in your Statement that you look forward to welcoming new recruits. Will you be actively recruiting during this financial year?

I am grateful for the clarification. The innuendo is perhaps that we may be now talking about the future Finance Minister. We will wait and see. But he is an Honourable Member nonetheless and I believe he is constituency 7, which is actually how we are supposed to refer to people in here —so the Honourable Member from constituency 7. …

Now, the bird, Mr. Deputy Speaker, is an ostrich. Now, the ostrich we are all familiar with because he sticks his head in the sand and he cannot see. The suggestion made by the previous speaker, by the Honourable Member, was that because the Government of Bermuda stood behind one of our financial institutions in a previous period of difficulty …

And so to be cute and say, Oh, well, you said I should move this to the Finance Minis-ter—who at the time, of course, was not the Premier, it was another gentleman—You said I should move it to the Finance Minister. Now I am the Finance Minister, I am going to move it to the Finance Minister. Mr. Deputy Speaker, …

And the answer to that is, corresponding banks, outside of this jurisdiction. So, again, with regret, Mr. Deputy Speaker, this Bill will solve nothing. And what is worse is that the only games that seem to be played are the games around this room. So I ask this, Are we going to just continue with wilful ignorance? Or do we …

The Honourable Premier is misleading the House. Had I refused to withdraw a state-ment I would have been ejected. I clarified the remarks, and it was acceptable to the [Deputy] Speaker who was in the Chair. Had it not been acceptable to the [Deputy] Speaker and had he not so directed, I would not be here. So let us stick …

The Honourable Premier is misleading the House. My comments in relation to the Premier not involving himself in relation to casino gam-ing are comments in relation to the role of the Premier, as I made very clear in my statements to the House. Whic h is why if there is going to be a Finance Minister responsible for this, it …

I invite the Honourable Premier to name one jurisdiction where the person responsible for the Government of that country is also responsible for casino gaming. The answer is none. None.

The Honourable Premier is misleading the House. The perception came from corre-spondent banks. Hon. E. David Burt: So we all note. Again, I will go back to the question. How does the Honourable Mem-ber know more than the Ministry of Finance? Because as I just said, no such correspondence, no such knowledge, no such information or communication has come to …
