Sorry, technology challenges. Mr . Speaker, today is a great day for my fam ily and I will speak about that on the motion to adjourn.

All right. So, Mr. Speaker, in this Bermuda Plan 2018, the Deputy Premier and his team (who were mentioned earlier, and I thank them all for their work) have put a lot of emphasis on the environment. They have put a lot of emphasis on not just a blanket plan for the whole Island, but a plan that addresses each …

This gentleman keeps r eferring that this Government is sniping at international business. That is a total misleading of the truth. The Minister of Finance has worked in international bus iness all of his career, and he is most connected to financial business, even more than the previous Minister of Finance. He has not been sniping at internation-al business. Nor …
