Conceded. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. So, all I am saying is that here we are now, and we have seven days since this Bill has been pr esented. We got to consult on Wednesday as a team , quite frankly , and many questions were unanswered. A lot were answered but many were unanswered. 1846 7 October 2022 …

Unanswered. So, Wednesday we consulted. We asked questions. Here we are on Friday, putting the Bill forward. As I have said before, no one has an issue with regulation. I have been saying all along that the corporate side needs to be regulated. All along, because they are taking too much of the share. And when I asked the question, …

Thank you, Chairman. And I believe the Honourable Member did answer a question I had already asked on page 9 under Part 4, Licensin g. And at the end of page 9 where it talks about directorship and controls and the likes, the question that —

If we follow over to the following page (I just want to make sure I get this correct), page 10, where it says “Grant of licence.” Clause 15 [(1)(a)] there. “The applicant pays the Go vernment authorisation fees.” And what I was not quite sure of was: Does this relate . . . I am assuming this relates to retailers …

Thank you, Chairman. Page 14, hopefully that is helpful, on Part 5 “Critical infrastructure,” clause 27[(1)(c)]. It states there “any other prescribed purpose.” The first part of course being “The Authority shall use its informationgathering powers” (and goes on under) “sections 60, 61, 62 and 89 to 92 . . . to collect from any licensee or other entity that …

Clause 27[(1)](c) says “any other prescribed purpose.” I am just trying to understand what possibly could that be, like what kind . . . any other.

Yes, just one more here. Under . . . back to [clause] 27 on page 14. [Clause] 27(4)(a) states “For the purposes of this section, the Minister, on the advice of the Author ity, may, by regulations,” and essentially, I am assu ming it is saying designate whoever is running the fuels in this area that it can designate to …

Yes. As that term is defined by regulations. So, are we saying we will have to wait for regulations to understand that a little better.

Clause 27(4)(a). Hon. Walter H. Roban: Yes. That will be informed by the regulations that will come. I believe that is the best appropriate answer for that, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Basically, there is not much to say here. I concur with the Minister and the need for extending, based on what he had to say, from three to six months. You know, West End Development Corpor ation has always been responsive. So I see no need to delay this her e and deliberate any further than …

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good morning, colleagues. On page 5—unfortunately my tablet is not working well. On page 5 going through to page 6, the Honourable Deputy Premier mentions, “service to the people of Bermuda is the single greatest purpose of this Bill.” Later on in that paragraph, it speaks of “Regulations will not be derived in a …
